Aeronautical Decision Making

A person who the Administrator finds has cheated or committed any unauthorized act while taking a knowledge test may not take another knowledge test within:

• A. 90 days.

• B. 1 year.

• C. 2 years.

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

• A. Anti-authority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.

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

• C. Poor risk management and lack of stress management.

The aeronautical decision-making (ADM) process identifies several steps involved in good decision making. One of these steps is:

• A. making a rational evaluation of the required actions.

• B. identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight.

• C. developing a 'can do' attitude.

Name some hazardous attitudes that can affect your judgment during the aeronautical decision-making (ADM) process.

• A. Impulsivity, antiestablishment, and reevaluation.

• B. Anti-authority, impulsivity, and resignation.

• C. Peer pressure and stress levels.

Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively countered by:

• A. an appropriate antidote.

• B. taking meaningful steps to be more assertive with attitudes.

• C. early recognition of these hazardous attitudes.

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

• A. Application of stress management and risk element procedures.

• B. Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

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

What are the four fundamental risk elements in the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process that comprise any given aviation situation?

• Pilot, aircraft, environment, and mission.

• Skill, stress, situational awareness, and aircraft.

• Situational awareness, risk management, judgment, and skill.

Aeronautical decision making (ADM) can be defined as

• a mental process of analyzing all available information in a particular situation, making a timely decision on what action to take, and when to take the action.

• a systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.

• a decision making process which relies on good judgment to reduce risks associated with each flight.

What should a pilot do when recognizing a thought as hazardous?

• Correct this hazardous thought by making a thorough risk assessment.

• Label the thought as hazardous and then correct that thought by stating the corresponding antidote.

• Avoid allowing this hazardous thought to develop.

When a pilot believes advanced avionics enable operations closer to personal or environmental limits,

• a greater utilization of the aircraft is achieved.

• risk is increased.

• risk is decreased.
