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

what is the most common factor in preventable accidents

a- structural failure

b- mechanical malfunction

c- human error

c

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

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

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

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
