Foolish chances like carrying too much or driving too fast are done to demonstrate their superior ability. 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. l i b r a r i e s .

But there are times when reacting too quickly can get us into trouble. Individuals who normally keep their macho attitude in check can be tripped up when certain psychological factors color their perception. Understanding each of these hazardous attitudes can help pilots of all skill levels manage risk and make safer decisions in the skies. The area where traveling TAA fared the worst was in weather-related accidents. xref We may fail to stop and consider the very real risks that are involved in the actions we take. The FAA outlines five hazardous attitudes that can compromise a pilot's decision-making: anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation. H@pHKXDi!

If everyone believed they would be injured constantly, we would never have left the cave. 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. Each letter represents one of six important factors affecting our ability to fly safely and engage in effective decision making.

The Board targets deficiencies in TAA training as one of the culprits. The only thing their guidance material emphasized was compliance with the Airline Transport Pilot and Type Rating Practical Test Standard (PTS). The result is the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) program.
