Operations 2

The effective use of all available resources - human, hardware, and information - prior to and during flight to ensure the successful outcome of the operation is called:

• risk management

• crew resource management

• safety resource system

When adapting crew resource management (CRM) concepts to the operation of a small unmanned aircraft, CRM must be integrated into:

• the communications only

• the flight portion only

• all phases of the operation

Safety is an important element for a remote pilot to consider prior to operating an unmanned aircraft system. To prevent the final "link" in the accident chain, a remote pilot must consider which methodology?

• Crew resource management

• Safety management system

• Risk management

A local TV station has hired a remote pilot to operate their small UA to cover breaking news stories. The remote pilot has had multiple near misses with obstacles on the ground and two small UAS accidents. Which would be a solution for the news station to improve their operating safety culture?

• The news station should implement a policy of no more than five crashes/incidents within six months

• The news station does not need to make any changes. There are times that an accident is unavoidable.

• The news station should recognize hazardous attitudes and situations and develop standard operating procedures that emphasize safety.

Identify the hazardous attitude or characteristic a remote PIC displays while taking risks in order to impress others?

• Impulsivity

• Invulnerability

• Machoism

You have been hired as a remote PIC by a local TV news station to film breaking news. You expressed safety concern and the station manager has instructed you to "fly first, ask questions later". What type of hazardous attitude does this attitude represent?

• Invulnerability

• Impulsivity

• Machoism

What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous attitude of "antiauthority"?

• Rules do not apply in this situation

• I know what I am doing

• Follow the rules

Hazardous attitudes occur to every pilot to some degree at some time. What are some of these hazardous attitudes?

• Poor risk management and lack of stress management

• Antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability

• Poor situational awareness, snap judgments, and lack of a decision making process

Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flights?

• Application of stress management and risk element procedures

• Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgement

• The mental process of analyzing all information in a particular situation and making a timely decision on what action to take

To avoid missing important steps, always use the:

• appropriate checklists

• placarded airspeeds

• airworthiness certificate
