FOA Lesson 8: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)

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

• all phases of the operation.

• the communications only.

• the flight portion only.

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

• Invulnerability.

• Impulsivity.

• Macho.

What is one of the most neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long-term memory for repetitive tasks?

• Situational awareness.

• Flying outside the envelope.

• Checklists.

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

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

• Poor risk management and lack of stress management.

• Antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.

Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical certificate?

• The pilot.

• The medical examiner.

• The FAA.

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

• Impulsivity.

• Invulnerability.

• Machismo.

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?

• Safety Management System.

• Risk Management.

• Crew Resource Management.

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

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

• Application of stress management and risk element procedures.

• Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

What is the antidote when a pilot has the hazardous attitude of "Invulnerability"?

• It will not happen to me.

• It could happen to me.

• It cannot be that bad.

What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous attitude of impulsivity?

• Do it quickly to get it over with.

• It could happen to me.

• Not so fast, think first.
