Chapter 10 Section B Single Pilot Resource Management

What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks? a- checklists b- situational awareness c- flying outside the envelope

a

What often leads to spatial disorientation or collision with ground/obstacles when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR)? a- continued flight into instruments conditions b- getting behind the aircraft c- duck-under syndrome

a

Hazardous attitudes occur to every pilot to some degree at some time. What are some of these hazardous attitudes? a- poor risk management and lack of stress management b- antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability c- poor situational awareness, snap judgements, and lack of a decision making process

b

in the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous attitude a- making a rational judgment b- recognizing hazardous thoughts c- recognizing the invulnerability of the situation

b

risk management, as part of 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

b

what is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as "Macho" a- I can do it b- taking chances is foolish c- nothing will happen

b

When is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as "Resignation"? a- what is the use b- someone else is responsible c- I am not helpless

c

Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight, even with a current medical certificate a- the FAA b- the medical examiner c- the pilot

c

a pilot and two passengers landed on a 2100-foot east-west gravel strip with an elevation of 1800 feet. the temperature is warmer than expected and after computing the density altitude it is determined the takeoff distance over a 50 foot obstacle is 1980 feet. the airplane is 75 pounds under gross weight. what would be the best choice a- take off to the west because the headwind will give the extra climb out time needed b- try a takeoff without the passengers to make sure the climb is adequate c- wait until the temperature decreases, and recalculate the takeoff performance

c

what is the most common factor in preventable accidents a- structural failure b- mechanical malfunction c- human error
