In that role, my office had ultimate responsibility for all general aviation training regulations and related doctrine, such as the Practical Test Standards and various training handbooks. This effort tended to label accidents as either skill-based or decision-based. These studies tended to show most accidents were due to skill-based pilot errors. <>/Border[0 0 0]/Contents( \n h t t p s : / / c o r e s c h o l a r . Learning behavior modification techniques 3. The NTSB itself does not help the situation by emphasizing more of the same as the solution.Before the hate mail gets out of control, let me emphasize that I still recognize the importance of traditional pilot skills, as long as they are part of a balanced program. Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight 2. The extent to which they failed to meet that objective is beyond the scope of this article.A little ancient historyAt this point, you would be correct to ask, What exactly was wrong with the current general aviation training system? The training doctrine and paradigm in place in 2001, and still mostly in place today, is a relic of the Civilian Pilot Training Program begun in the 1939-1941 period just prior to the war. Under normal circumstances, our decision-making process operates effectively. I wanted to see quick results and I had high hopes major general aviation organizations would support this effort. 0000004410 00000 n The decision-making process in-volves awareness of our situation. What's important is that we recognize the traits within us, understand how these traits can develop into hazardous attitudes, and develop mechanisms to readjust our thought processes as we enter the zone of hazardous attitudes and dangerous decision making. taa weather related accidents are associated with what hazardous attitude. /@z [?20|y>n |,GPQ@ L/ Additionally, they often dont select the best option but instead, do the first thing that comes to mind. The flight instructor community could be effective in this regard, if it could speak with a unified voice.The informed consumer is probably the best agent for training change. 0000013123 00000 n endobj endobj ", The same thing can happen in an airplane. 945 0 obj Rather than using real-world scenarios for training and testing, the existing system is based more on rote knowledge acquisition and performing traditional training maneuvers.The cause of most fatalsThe FAA (before my watch) spent considerable time, effort, and money trying to analyze accident causality with a human factors approach. Many people feel that accidents happen to those around them, but not to themselves. Very real hazards are ignored for the sake of convenience or expediency. endobj 0000004547 00000 n Also, Middle Tennessee State University did some pioneering work with a combined private-instrument rating curriculum-with a single test-and the regulations have been changed to enable that option.I believe the energy for continued evolution in training methods must originate with industry and be supported by continued FAA doctrine changes and especially reform of the knowledge and practical tests. A person with a hazardous impulsivity attitude may feel the need to do something-anything-quickly. O'Hare found that pilots substantially underestimated the risk of GA flying relative to other activities, and similarly underestimated their likelihood of being in a GA accident. The typical Cirrus customer doesnt go to the airport to get REMEd out but rather goes there so he can use his airplane to get somewhere. I concluded that 25 of the accidents had a high likelihood of being prevented by using such techniques and only four accidents were really skill-related. You can be type-rated to carry passengers at FL410 without ever getting above 10,000 feet. Maybe I had lost respect for the dangers of motorcycle riding or had developed an unsafe attitude. Results Descriptive Statistics Table 2 and shows the regularity with which the Hazardous Attitudes were found in the analyzed accidents. It is a mixed bag, however. As I often say, I was on the first lifeboat out-ahead of the women and children.Where do we go from here?As I said earlier, it would be simple but inaccurate to blame FAA totally for deficiencies in TAA training. '? 0000011497 00000 n An hour later, after the symptoms subsided, I realized how severely my piloting abilities had been compromised. 943 0 obj Stresses that lead to the hurry-up syndrome or get-home-itis can cause pilots to overestimate their abilities. Its just that they need to be empirically justified by how effective they are in preventing accidents while simultaneously addressing utility in practical flight operations.Our flawed training systemThe fact were still using training concepts from the last century is a result of many factors and, while its easy to blame the FAA, we might only have to look in the mirror to find part of the problem. But I digress. 0000004770 00000 n Alcohol-All pilots should know better than to mix alcohol with flying. When we find ourselves tempted to react impulsively, we can remind ourselves to think first. Higher-order pilot skills, such as risk management, single-pilot resource management and automation management are either poorly considered or not addressed at all. In this state, a pilot may feel secure and justified in taking unnecessary risks. In most situations, including many emergencies, it's better to take time to sort things out before committing to a course of action. 0000002102 00000 n 0000003065 00000 n These attitudes often pop up in everyday life, aviation, the military, and construction. What is risk management in the context of TAA training? 0000006924 00000 n Most of FAAs training emphasis is on airline training, especially after the Colgan Buffalo accident. The regulations we fly by have literally been written in blood and exist for our protection. 0000023460 00000 n endobj When we become overconfident or complacent, our attitude subtly shifts and our margin of safety begins to erode. It is a mixed bag, however.The FAA has revised many of the training handbooks, such as the Instrument Flying Handbook, to address TAA issues and has issued completely new manuals, such as the Risk Management Handbook. The feeling of invulnerability should be balanced against an equally keen sense of caution. 0000001742 00000 n 0000002192 00000 n Definition. Our program quickly obtained FITS acceptance from Washington and we thought we were on our way. 4. 0000014911 00000 n When we find ourselves thinking that bad things only happen to other pilots (invulnerability), we need to think again. cESW#9kD{{. The goal of this National Transportation Safety Board study was to better understand the risk factors associated with accidents that occur in weather conditions characterized by IMC or poor visibility ("weather-related accidents"). It heavily emphasized risk management and single-pilot resource management. 0000013102 00000 n Ritchie [8 . The federal aviation regulations prohibit flying within eight hours of drinking alcoholic beverages, when under the influence of alcohol (or other drugs), or any time blood alcohol levels exceed .04 percent. When we find ourselves breaking the rules like this, we usually have ways to rationalize our behavior. 0000007855 00000 n Our training is designed to foster our self-image as competent, capable pilots.

Fatigue-It's difficult to think clearly and rationally when you're tired. If you haven't been eating properly or drinking enough fluids, don't expect to be a safe pilot. ^ZGiYii(n!NYe While I was in that role, I did not initiate controversial and counter-productive rulemaking initiatives involving training. every twelve GA accidents was a fatal weather-related accident. 936 0 obj Commendably, it has succeeded-at least partly-in expanding the market by building products with appeal to a wider audience. 0000001652 00000 n Hello world! They believe that tie-off regulations are excessive, caution signs arbitrary, and personal protection equipment gets in the way. Once we recognize that our decision making might be compromised by a hazardous attitude, we can apply a corrective mechanism to our thinking.

Learn the Five Hazardous Attitudes and be ready for them. My hard-working colleagues and I created a program that we thought the FAA would love. Being an ex-FAA type, I immediately created the acronym REME to describe these folks. Weather Related Accidents Rather that concentrating on the aggregate fatalities, a more informative way to view the general aviation safety record is to examine the specific causes of fatal accidents. Rather than using real-world scenarios for training and testing, the existing system is based more on rote knowledge acquisition and performing traditional training maneuvers. Their report recommended changes in airman knowledge tests and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training materials, among other changes. On the other side of the fence are elements that want to change the status quo and not just with better training. Lightning-quick responses are essential to safety and survival in some circumstances, but in most situations, including many emergencies, its better to take some time to sort things out before committing to a course of action. 0000009867 00000 n Learning how to recognize and cope with stress. 0000004352 00000 n I was intent on creating a scenario-based training program, covering all the well-known elements of the Eclipse program, including initial type training and mentoring. As a result of this study, six recommendations were issued to the Federal Aviation Administration. Belvoir Media Group, LLC. A good checklist for these items is the I'M SAFE checklist. endobj To get a type rating, all you have to do is stay within the test parameters.

The NTSB itself does not help the situation by emphasizing more of the same as the solution. 0000001028 00000 n I believe the energy for continued evolution in training methods must originate with industry and be supported by continued FAA doctrine changes and especially reform of the knowledge and practical tests. The current student pilot start figures ought to be sobering to anyone in general aviation who is willing to admit that weve got to stop selling to ourselves if we are to survive and that $150,000 sport aircraft may not be the answer. This study examined the FAA-defined Hazardous Attitudes and the regularity with which they occurred in the U.S. air carrier flight crew related accidents between 1991-2018. They are antiauthority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation. The collaborative instructor spends as much time and energy as needed to work with the student pilot until any flight training issues associated with hazardous attitudes are resolved to the mutual . The art and science of risk management is now a fundamental concept that permeates virtually all industrial processes from nuclear power plant management to-you guessed it-aviation safety. Show all. X.1 OXRXfYy_%)i ;ee u #4& Risk plays a key role in most general aviation fatal accidents. Become a Ventilation Expert with a Lunch & Learn Seminar, 5 Questions to Ask When Considering Ventilation System Upgrade. endobj Historically, about two-thirds of all general aviation (GA) accidents that occur in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) are fatal-a rate much higher than the overall fatality rate for GA accidents. The analysis revealed several pilot- and flight-related factors associated with increased risk of accident involvement, and the recommended approaches to mitigating those risk factors are discussed in the context of three issue areas: The Safety Board emphasizes that the conclusions reached in this study are not based on a summary of accident cases, although the merits of such Board studies have proven valuable in the past. 3 d|{}6`DR!M.sa:pt{ [QPpwyK[$6j+EWi?{Fzi[K._ If we find ourselves about to take a chance, we need to reflect on the significance of our decision to fly. Historically, about two-thirds of all general aviation (GA) accidents that occur in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) are fatal-a rate much higher than the overall fatality rate for GA accidents. We then estimate the correction required. Remember that the psychological stresses of work, school, family, or personal life are carried with you into the cockpit and can degrade your performance. Their report recommended changes in airman knowledge tests and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training materials, among other changes. 0000004670 00000 n Which condition is responsible for the most NTSB weather-related accidents?

Our program quickly obtained FITS acceptance from Washington and we thought we were on our way.From the beginning, our local FSDO folks were also hard-working but, in their eyes, the FITS concepts really didnt matter. I had been riding motorcycles since I was 15, but something subtle had changed in our relationship. Each letter represents one of six important factors affecting our ability to fly safely and engage in effective decision making. I've never been more shocked than the day I broke my leg skiing. All kidding aside (this could really ratchet up my hate mail), it could be that a diminishing cohort of old white guys, and the trade and member organizations that represent them, are preventing progress. The FAA has identified five hazardous attitudes that have the potential to influence the pilots' ability to respond to "people, situations, or events" in a manner conducive to aviation safety (FAA, 2017a, p. 2-5). 6@#.a *c qECC!f0B5*Y`X\ s48`-.

I neglected my checklist, flew the pattern the wrong way, and landed on the wrong runway. They are indeed crucial components of effective TAA training but todays TAA training market tends to emphasize automation management as the be-all and end-all to the training requirement. H@pHKXDi! According to the FAA, the hazardous attitudes precipitate poor judgement in all flight regimes. Adverse wind (/1 pts ) . 0000007644 00000 n 0000002631 00000 n The FAA has identified 5 Hazardous Attitudes that afflict pilots: macho, impulsivity, resignation, invulnerability, and anti-authority. We know that as long as we make good decisions, we should never have an accident. From the beginning, our local FSDO folks were also hard-working but, in their eyes, the FITS concepts really didnt matter. In that role, my office had ultimate responsibility for all general aviation training regulations and related doctrine, such as the Practical Test Standards and various training handbooks. Perhaps I wasn't as safe a rider as I had thought. Throughout our training, the need to react quickly-to take prompt action in response to a changing situation-is emphasized. When the resignation attitude develops, we must realize that we are not helpless and force ourselves to continue thinking and flying the airplane. Being injured while taking a stupid risk is worse than some perceived evaluation of strength. The third category is psychological stressors, and these include myriad factors such as peer pressure, self-image, get-home-itis and the hurry-up syndrome.

The paper by Michael Kaplan and several others5 described the results of 44 case study analyses that defined the atmospheric structure prior to the development of accident-producing turbulence. It would detract too much from the subject of this article to discuss any of the well-known issues that Eclipse critics have harped on, so youll just have to settle for my training soapbox. He attributed much of general aviations failure to embrace modernization and change as a result of the overarching influence of what he terms, romantic, elitist, macho enthusiasts.. Risk is defined by the simultaneous assessment of risk severity versus risk likelihood. Technology can do great things, Kennan said, but its a double-edged swordit depends on how you use it., Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Attitude Adjustments Could Prevent Aircraft Accidents, United States Department of Transportation, Student and Recent Graduate Opportunities. 0000010201 00000 n The fact were still using training concepts from the last century is a result of many factors and, while its easy to blame the FAA, we might only have to look in the mirror to find part of the problem. 0000017373 00000 n These attitudes, Anti-Authority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, & Resignation, often lead to poor judgment and risk assessment. Ill leave that one for a future article but its clear that managing risk is becoming the name of the game.What is risk management in the context of TAA training? Such stressors can severely alter our perception of the five elements of flight decision making. When there is a strong need to get the job done or to get somewhere quickly, one may feel justified in bending the rules. 0000002983 00000 n While I was in that role, I did not initiate controversial and counter-productive rulemaking initiatives involving training. They include such common factors as fatigue and proper nutrition. 0000000816 00000 n A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Study of Risk Factors Associated with Weather-Related General Aviation Accidents4. This approach favored cooperation between FAA and industry to change training doctrine, standards, and manuals without time consuming, inefficient and ineffective regulatory change. Pilots are often tempted to use over-the-counter remedies to mask the effects of illnesses such as colds, but these remedies may have side effects that severely affect our judgment and decision making. To ensure our customers could pass the practical test, I and my successors at Eclipse quickly moved the higher order pilot training to the mentoring phase, which is not required by the regulations if you conduct all of the training in the airplane itself, rather than a simulator. The short version is it involves a three-part process to identify, assess and mitigate risk from specific hazards. I personally created and often taught the risk management segment. In my view, this analysis was flawed since it tended to accept the NTSB primary and causal accident factors as the root cause of the accident. Throughout his career, he examined the human factors that cause accidents, both from a pilot and design perspective. When a person is feeling tired, sick, or overwhelmed, they may take on one of the 5 hazardous attitudes. 0000002512 00000 n The advantage of the case control methodology is that, instead of focusing on the factors that accidents have in common, and possibly being misled by characteristics common to most pilots/flights, it identifies characteristics that set accidents apart and contribute to their occurrence. I wanted to see quick results and I had high hopes major general aviation organizations would support this effort. 0000014932 00000 n 0000005177 00000 n They are indeed crucial components of effective TAA training but todays TAA training market tends to emphasize automation management as the be-all and end-all to the training requirement.
