Drone Technology-Aeronautical Decision Making

The effective use of all available resources-human, hardware, and information-prior to and during flight to ensure the successful outcome of the operation is called

• risk management

• crew resource management

• safety management system

When adapting crew resource management (CRM) concepts to the operation of a small unmanned aircraft, CRM must be integrated into

• the communications only

• the flight portion only

• all phases of the operation

Safety is an important element for a remote pilot to consider prior to operating an unmanned aircraft system. To prevent the final "link" in the accident chain, a remote pilot must consider which methodology?

• Crew resource management

• Safety management system

• Risk management

Identify the hazardous attitude or characteristic a remote pilot in command displays while taking risks in order to impress others?

• Impulsivity

• Invulnerability

• Machoism

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

• Poor risk management and lack of stress management

• Anti-authority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability

• Poor situational awareness, snap judgments, and lack of decision making process

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

• Application of stress management and risk element procedures

• Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment

• The mental process of analyzing all information in a particular situation and making a timely decision on what action to take.

Which statement is not correct concerning crew resource management in sUAS operations?

• Crew members cannot, under any circumstances, challenge the decisions of the Remote PIC

• Individuals who are exhibiting signs of hazardous attitudes should be approached about the issue

• The remote PIC and all crew members should communicate any observed hazards or concerns to one another

You have been hired as a remote pilot in command by a local TV news station to film breaking news with a small unmanned aircraft. You expressed a safety concern and the station manager has instructed you to "fly first, ask questions later." What type of hazardous attitude does this attitude represent?

• Invulnerability

• Impulsivity

• Machoism

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

• It could happen to me.

• Do it quickly to get it over with

• Not so fast, think first

What is the best way to mitigate risk?

• SMS plan

• Weekly meetings

• Establishing an operational procedure guideline
