Not so fast, think first.

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

Not so fast, think first. (FAA-H-8083-25)

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:

Peer pressure, get-there-it is, loss of positional or situational awareness, and operating without adequate fuel reserves. (AC 60-22)

All experienced pilots have fallen prey to, or have been tempted by, one or more of these dangerous tendencies or behavior problems at some time in their career. Select the answer that best describes these tendencies.

What stressors should be considered when doing a pilot self-assessment?

Physical (temperature, noise, vibration, etc.). Physiological (Fatigue, fitness, missed meals, illness, etc.). ALL ARE CORRECT

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