Unit 8 Test

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

• — Application of stress management and risk element procedures.
• — Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.
• — 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.

What is the best way to mitigate risk?

• — SMS plan.
• — Weekly meetings.
• — Establishing an operational procedure guideline.

Aeronautical decision making (ADM) can be described as the pilot’s ability for

• — sound judgment and good decision making.
• — making quick decisive actions.
• — interpreting dangerous situations.

What precautions should a remote PIC take to prevent possible inflight emergencies when using lithium-based batteries?

• — Store the batteries in a freezer to allow proper recharging.
• — Follow the manufacturer`s recommendations for safe battery handling.
• — Allow the battery to charge until it reaches a minimum temperature of 100°C.

The effective use of all available resources— human, hardware, and information—prior to and during f light to ensure the successful outcome of the operation is called

• — risk management.
• — crew resource management.
• — safety management 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.

Which statement is not correct concerning crew resource management in sUAS operations?

• — Crewmembers cannot, under any circumstances, challenge the decisions of the Remote PIC.
• — Individuals who are exhibiting signs of hazardous attitudes should be approached about the issue.
• — The remote PIC and all crewmembers should communicate any observed hazards or concerns to one another.

A remote pilot-in-command and a visual observer define their roles and responsibilities prior to and during the operation of a small UA. This is a good use of

• — crew resource management.
• — authoritarian resource management.
• — single-pilot resource management.

An extreme case of a pilot getting behind the aircraft can lead to the operational pitfall of

• — loss of situational awareness.
• — loss of workload.
• — internal stress.
