  1. What does Crew Resource Management (CRM) emphasize in sUAS operations?

    Answer: Effective use of all available human and informational resources to enhance safety

    CRM focuses on optimizing communication, decision-making, and resource use among crew members to improve operational safety.

  2. Which human factor most commonly contributes to sUAS accidents?

    Answer: Complacency

    Complacency — overconfidence or inattentiveness from routine familiarity — is among the most common human factors leading to drone incidents.

  3. What is situational awareness in sUAS operations?

    Answer: Continuously perceiving, understanding, and projecting the state of the aircraft, environment, and mission

    Situational awareness involves ongoing perception and understanding of all factors — aircraft, environment, and threats — relevant to the operation.

  4. A remote pilot notices the visual observer appears fatigued and distracted. The best action is to:

    Answer: Rest or replace the VO before continuing safety-critical flight phases

    Fatigue impairs situational awareness and reaction time, and CRM principles require addressing crew performance limitations before they create hazards.

  5. What is 'task saturation' and why is it dangerous for remote pilots?

    Answer: Being overwhelmed by too many simultaneous tasks, reducing safety margin and increasing errors

    Task saturation occurs when workload exceeds the pilot's capacity, causing critical items to be overlooked and increasing accident risk.

  6. How can a remote pilot best reduce task saturation during a complex sUAS operation?

    Answer: Assign tasks to the VO or crew and conduct a thorough pre-flight brief

    Proper task delegation and thorough pre-flight briefings distribute workload across the crew, reducing the risk of any single person being overwhelmed.
