Percentage of aircraft accidents were weather was a contributing factor or was a casual factor. -
CORRECT ANSWER - 20.1 %
What type of weather causes the highest percentage of accidents overall? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Wind
What category of operation had the highest percentage of weather related accidents and highest
weather-related accident rate? - CORRECT ANSWER - -Part 91 Operations (small, non-
commercial aircraft)
-88% of all weather related accidents - accident rate of 1.26 per every 100,00 hours flown
What type of weather causes the most aircraft accidents for Part 91, 121 and 135 operations? -
CORRECT ANSWER - 91 = Wind ; ceiling/visibility in far second. Mostly during VFR
day
121 = Turbulence
135 = Wind/ ceiling = mostly cieling, but pretty split
Define operations part 91, 121, and 135 - CORRECT ANSWER - 91 = Small non-
commercial aircraft within the US
121 = air carriers
,135 = Air taxi and on-demand charter operators
Define Aircraft Accident - CORRECT ANSWER - An occurrence associated w the
operation of an aircraft that takes place between when anyone boards the plane intending to fly
until everyone has disembarked, during which any person suffers DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY,
or in which the plane resieves SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE
Define Pilot Error - CORRECT ANSWER - Term used to describe the cause of an
accidend where the pilot is considered partially or principally responsible
Define a Serious Injury - CORRECT ANSWER - - Requires hspitalization for more than
48 hrs, no more than 7 days after the accident
-fractured bones (besides, fingers toes or nose)
-causes severe hemorrhages, nerve, or muscle damage
-involves an internal organ
-Involves 2nd/3rd degree burns, or burns affecting more than 5 percent of the body surface
(CRM) Crew Resource Management - CORRECT ANSWER - -Management system
which makes optimum use of available resources (equipment, procedures, and people) to
promote safety and enhance the efficiency of flight operations
ADM - Aeronautical Decision Making - CORRECT ANSWER - Systematic approach to
the mental process used by aircraft pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in
response to a given set of circumstances
Steps for ADM - CORRECT ANSWER - 1 - Indentify hazardous attitudes
2 - learn behavior mod techniques
3 - learn to recognize / cope w stress
4 - using all resources
5 - evaluating effectiveness of ADM skills
6 - Developing risk assessment skills
, The two risk assessment skills - CORRECT ANSWER - 1 - Risk Assessment Matrix
= Find the likelihood & consequences of occurences
2 - PAVE checklist
= Used to perceive hazards
Decision Making Process - CORRECT ANSWER - 1 - systematically identify risks
2 - assess degree of risk
3 - determine best course of action
Examples include:
5 P's
3 P's
OODA
DECIDE
DECIDE - CORRECT ANSWER - Detect
Estimate
Choose
Identify
Do
Evaluate
Trends in part 91 accidents - CORRECT ANSWER - - mostly wind (second highest is
ceiling/visibility)
-Typically due to crosswinds & gusts (tailwind was third)
-mostly during the day
-Not usually severe
