Term 1 of 30
A pilot and friends are going to fly to an out-of-town football game. When the passengers
arrive, the pilot determines that they will be over the maximum gross weight for takeoff with the
existing fuel load, which of the following alternatives best illustrate the RESIGNATION reaction:
Well, nobody told him about the extra weight
Weight and balance is a formality forced on pilots by the FAA
He can't wait around to de-fuel, they have to get there on time
Term 2 of 30
To scan properly for traffic, a pilot should:
Slowly sweep the field of vision from one side to the other at intervals
Concentrate on any peripheral movement detected
Use a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the
sky into the central visual field
Term 3 of 30
To help manage cockpits stress, pilots must:
Be aware of life stress situations that are similar to those in flying
Condition themselves to relax and think rationally when stress appears
Avoid situations that will degrade their abilities to handle cockpit responsibilities
Term 4 of 30
What are some of the hazardous attitude dealt with in Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM):
Antiauthority (don't tell me), impulsivity (do something quickly without thinking), macho (i
can do it)
Risk management, stress management, and risk elements
Poor decision making, situational awareness, and judgement
,Term 5 of 30
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) is a:
Systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the
best course of action for a given set of circumstances
Decision making process which relies on good judgement to reduce risks associated with
each flight
Mental process of analyzing all information in a particular situation and making a timely
decision on what action to take
Term 6 of 30
What should a pilot do when recognizing a thought as hazardous:
Avoid developing this hazardous thought
Develop this hazardous thought and follow through with modified action
Label that thought as hazardous, then correct that thought by stating the corresponding
learned antidote
Term 7 of 30
Most pilots have fallen prey to dangerous tendencies or behavior problems at some time.
Some of these dangerous tendencies or behavior patterns which must be identified and
eliminated include:
Deficiencies in instrumental skills and knowledge of aircraft system or limitations
Perform deficiencies from human factors such as fatigue, illness, or emotional problems
Peer pressure, get-there-itis, loss of positional or situational awareness, and operating
without adequate fuel reserves
Term 8 of 30
When a pilot recognized a hazardous thought, he or she then should correct it by stating the
corresponding antidote, which of the following is the antidote for ANTIAUTHORITY:
Not so fast, Think first It won't happen to me.
It could happen to me
Don't tell me. Follow the rules. They are usually right
, Term 9 of 30
Examples of classic behavioural traps that experienced pilots may fall into are: trying to:
Assume additional responsibilities and assert PIC authority
Promote situational awareness and then necessary changes in behaviour
Complete a flight as planned, please passengers, meet schedules, and demonstrate the
"right stuff"
Term 10 of 30
Which would most likely result in hyperventilation:
Insufficient oxygen
Excessive carbon monoxide
Insufficient carbon dioxide
Term 11 of 30
The aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process indentifies the steps involved in good
decision making. One of these steps includes a pilot:
Making a rational evaluation of the required actions
Developing the "right stuff" attitude
Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight
Term 12 of 30
When a pilot recognizes a hazardous thought, he or she then correct it by stating the
corresponding antidote. Which of the following is the antidote for MACHO:
Follow the rules, they are usually right
Not so fast. Think first
Taking chances is foolish
