Read the first 7 Crew Resource Management & Decision-Making flashcards as text

  1. Which aeronautical decision-making (ADM) model specifically involves identifying hazardous attitudes and neutralizing them?

    Answer: Antidote method

    The Antidote method pairs each of the five hazardous attitudes with a specific corrective thought to counteract it.

  2. A remote PIC notices the Visual Observer (VO) seems distracted and is not scanning effectively. The best CRM action is to:

    Answer: Verbally re-brief the VO on their scanning responsibilities and confirm readiness

    Good CRM requires actively communicating expectations and ensuring all crew members are performing their duties before continuing operations.

  3. The 'macho' hazardous attitude is best described as a pilot who:

    Answer: Believes they can handle any situation and takes unnecessary risks

    The macho attitude involves overconfidence and a tendency to prove one's abilities by taking unwarranted risks.

  4. During a sUAS flight, the remote PIC experiences a sudden task overload. The most effective immediate response is to:

    Answer: Delegate lower-priority tasks to the VO and focus on aircraft control

    Delegating secondary tasks frees cognitive bandwidth so the remote PIC can prioritize aircraft control and safety.

  5. The concept of 'single-pilot resource management' (SRM) is relevant to sUAS operations because:

    Answer: Most Part 107 operations are conducted by a single remote PIC without a VO

    Many drone operations involve just a remote PIC managing all resources alone, making SRM skills critical for safe outcomes.

  6. Which statement best reflects the 'resignation' hazardous attitude?

    Answer: 'What's the point of following procedures? It won't matter anyway.'

    Resignation is characterized by a sense of futility and lack of motivation to follow safety procedures, believing outcomes are out of one's control.

  7. A remote PIC realizes mid-flight that a key pre-flight check was skipped. Using the DECIDE model, the first step is to:

    Answer: Detect that a change has occurred

    In the DECIDE model, 'Detect' is the first step — recognizing that a change or problem exists that requires action.
