endobj It heavily emphasized risk management and single-pilot resource management. By reflecting briefly on a situation, we often choose a better course of action than simple reaction. With ever-evolving technology, it is inevitable that human factors will continue to cause accidents. 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. Rigorously evaluating the situation, including its risks, is vital to ensuring a safe work environment. Even technologies such as synthetic vision have become the new norm. Often, the need to react quickly is necessary in response to a changing situation. 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. 0000003678 00000 n This person might leave action and decision making to others and figure safety is all a matter of chance. I served as the FAAs lead general aviation executive from 2001 until I retired in 2005.

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. When we find ourselves breaking the rules like this, we usually have ways to rationalize our behavior. 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 short version is it involves a three-part process to identify, assess and mitigate risk from specific hazards. To get a type rating, all you have to do is stay within the test parameters. We tend to believe that accidents happen to other pilots; besides, virtually all the factors that affect safety are under our direct control. endobj There are very few times when lightning-quick responses are essential to safety and survival. 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. While I was in that role, I did not initiate controversial and counter-productive rulemaking initiatives involving training. 0000026129 00000 n Accidents associated with high winds and frozen precipitation also ranked high in the database. taa weather related accidents are associated with what hazardous attitude.

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. endobj 0000007644 00000 n Illness-Any form of illness can affect our ability to safely operate an aircraft. A freshly released NTSB study (see the April and May, 2010, issues of Aviation Safety) alleges glass cockpits in general aviation airplanes have not led to expected safety improvements. This methodology expands on previous Safety Board efforts that have typically concentrated on summaries of accident cases.

This resignation becomes hazardous when a pilot gives up when faced with difficult situations. Physical stressors relate to our environment and include such factors as cockpit temperature, noise, vibration and turbulence, hypoxia, and carbon monoxide. The only thing their guidance material emphasized was compliance with the Airline Transport Pilot and Type Rating Practical Test Standard (PTS). Being an ex-FAA type, I immediately created the acronym REME to describe these folks. Its maneuver-based, top-down (i.e., spoon-fed by the instructor) and has as its major goal getting a student through the knowledge and practical tests.Higher-order pilot skills, such as risk management, single-pilot resource management and automation management are either poorly considered or not addressed at all. As aviation pioneer Beryl Markham wrote, "Success breeds confidence." Each time we succeed in our flying, we have more confidence that we can do it again.

Keenan explained that, at the core, these missteps are rooted in emotional behaviors. every twelve GA accidents was a fatal weather-related accident. endobj 0000005379 00000 n Statistical analyses were used to determine the relationships between study variables and accident/nonaccident status and to identify variables that could be linked to an increased risk of weather-related GA accident involvement. 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. 0000002192 00000 n For example, while performing some work for one of my post-retirement clients, I evaluated 29 TAA fatal accidents and applied a simple test. When we develop hazardous attitudes in flying, we are truly courting disaster. 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 envisioned FITS as an outside-the-box approach to addressing general aviation training issues. 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. 932 0 obj I immediately got to work creating a FITS-based program that would emphasize operating the Eclipse 500 single-pilot in the real world.

We may not realize that it is occurring, but at some critical point, we find ourselves over our heads in a truly dangerous situation. From the beginning, our local FSDO folks were also hard-working but, in their eyes, the FITS concepts really didnt matter. A person with a hazardous impulsivity attitude may feel the need to do something-anything-quickly. These attitudes, Anti-Authority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, & Resignation, often lead to poor judgment and risk assessment. National Transportation Safety Board. 931 0 obj Stresses that lead to the hurry-up syndrome or get-home-itis can cause pilots to overestimate their abilities. Hazardous Attitudes themselves. 0000003065 00000 n Throughout this process, a pilot is called upon to evaluate five important elements: himself, the aircraft, the environment, the type of operation or flight (sightseeing, training, charter, etc. Perhaps our built-in sense of invulnerability is a survival mechanism that allows us to cope with the prospect of injury or death. ~%jvN0VQ95vvvXNF]( 0000009592 00000 n 0000006343 00000 n 0000005553 00000 n 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. 0000003956 00000 n On the other side of the fence are elements that want to change the status quo and not just with better training. They may be resentful of having someone trying to tell them what to do and may regard rules, regulations, and procedures as unnecessary or silly. Sometimes it seems that the rules just don't apply in the particular circumstances, that they aren't that important, or that we can get away with disregarding them. 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 . 0000004670 00000 n If you own or fly a TAA, its time to speak up and help us move beyond the white-scarf era.

For example, while performing some work for one of my post-retirement clients, I evaluated 29 TAA fatal accidents and applied a simple test. The FAA outlines five hazardous attitudes that can compromise a pilot's decision-making: anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation. Finally, we need to watch out for those times when our abilities become compromised by tunnel vision. Which condition is responsible for the most NTSB weather-related accidents? These attitudes often pop up in everyday life, aviation, the military, and construction. 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. The U.S. Natural Hazard Statistics provide statistical information on fatalities, injuries, and damages caused by weather related hazards. 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. Is bureaucratic inertia at the FAA and within the industry preventing us from getting our moneys worth? 0000002012 00000 n 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. 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. 0000004012 00000 n When the resignation attitude develops, we must realize that we are not helpless and force ourselves to continue thinking and flying the airplane. Even the FAA pays homage to the concept and frequently parrots it has a risk-based approach to safety oversight. People who think, Whats the point? do not see themselves as being able to make a great deal of difference in what happens to them. eez8ne(zN5c';6H`" 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. 945 0 obj Deciding that there is no more that can be done or that the safety plan is good enough can become hazardous when an individual gives up in the face of demanding situations. To avoid them, we must constantly make the painstakingly difficult assessment of our own mental condition.
