Human Behavior (FOI)

Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively counteracted by

An appropriate antidote

Name some hazardous attitudes that can affect your judgment during the aeronautical decision making process.

Anti authority, impulsivity, and registration

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

Anti authority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.

When should a flight instructor begin teaching aeronautical decision making to a student?

As soon as the student is able to control the aircraft during basic maneuvers.

How should an instructor include distractions?

Ask the student to get something from the back seat.

Success in reducing stress associated with a crisis in the cockpit begins with?

Assessing stress ares in ones personal life

the DECIDE process consists of six elements to help provide a pilot a logical way of approaching aeronautical decision making. These elements are to

Detect, Estimate, choose, Identify, do, evaluate

What is the best way to teach students how to multi-task while they are flying?

Help students develop both types of multitasking abilities, including attention switching and simultaneous performance.

The aeronautical decision making process identifies several steps involved in good decision making. One of these steps is

Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight

What should a pilot do when recognizing a though as hazardous?

Label the thought as hazardous and then correct that thought by stating the corresponding antidote

During training flights, an instructor should interject realistic distractions to determine if a student can?

Maintain aircraft control while his/her attention is diverted.

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.

Peer pressure, loss of situational awareness, and operating with inadequate fuel reserves.

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

Pilot, aircraft, environment, and mission

In the aeronautical decision making process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazard-ous attitude

Recognizing hazardous thoughts

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

Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

Aeronautical decision making can be defined as a

Systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.

Human behavior

causes three out of four accidents.

Examples of classic behavioral traps that experienced pilots may fall into are to

complete a flight as planned, please passengers, meet schedules, and "get the job done"

In order to gain a realistic perspective on one's attitude toward flying, a pilot should

obtain both realistic and thorough flight instructions during training

To help manage cockpit stress, a pilot should

try to relax and think rationally at the first sign of stress.
