TEM Q&A

Give an example of a threat and its classification.

e.g. Turbulence - Environmental Threat

A component of TEM which refers to an action or inaction by the flight crew that lead to deviations from organizational or flight crew intentions or expectations.

This is the result of ineffective threat and/or error management leading to compromised situations and reduce margins of safety in flight operations.

This specific CRM skill or countermeasure is present in ALL TEM strategies.

• Situational Awareness

• Workload Assignment

• Communication

• Contingency Management

In the TEM model, how many strategies are there to avoid or prevent an End State?

A pre-flight briefing is an example of

• a review countermeasure

• a planning countermeasure

• an execution countermeasure

• a latent countermeasure

One measure of effectiveness of a flight crew's ability to manage threats is:

• if the pilot-in-command can overcome the threat without requiring the input of other crew members

• the time taken to regain control following an Undesired Aircraft State

• whether the threat is detected in time for the flight crew to respond

• their recall of the event at de-briefing
