Questions:

1)With the help of what doument pilots have a simple way to remember each category of risk prior to each flight?

Answer: With the PAVE checklist pilots have a simple way to remember each category to examine for risk prior to each flight.

2)Who is one of the risk factors in a flight?

Answer: The pilot is one of the risk factors in a flight.

3)Does an engine failure give the nearby airports supreme importance?

Answer: An engine failure gives the nearby airports supreme importance.

4)What types of flights requires special consideration?

Answer: Night flights requires special consideration.

5)A pilot will frequently base decisions on the evaluations of the airplane, such as performance, equipment, or airworthines, won't he?

Answer: A pilot will frequently base decisions on the evaluations of the airplane, such as performance, equipment, or airworthines.

6)Was a pilot landing a small airplane or big one just after a heavy jet?

Answer:A pilot was landing a small airplane just after a heavy jet had departed a parallel runway.

7)How many hours of sleep a pilot had before being asked by the boss to fly to a meeting?

Answer:A pilot had only 4 hours of sleep the night before bein asked by the boss to fly to a meeting in a city 750 miles away.

8)What is the main goal of personal standard operating procedures?

Answer:The main goal is to supply a release for the external pressures.

9)Does the night flying require special consideration?

Answer:Night flying requires special consideration.

10)Evaluation of terrain is another important comoponent of analyzing the flight environment, isn’t it?

Answer: Evaluation of terrain is another important comoponent of analyzing the flight environment.

Additional information:

The majority of all aircraft accidents are attributed to pilot error. Most accidents occurred because of a chain of events or factors that contributed to the accident. If any one of these events in the chain had been broken or stopped it is likely that the accident could have been avoided. Break the chain, prevent the accident.

PAVE is an acronym devised by the Federal Aviation Administration for use as a personal minimums checklist for pilots. Each letter of the acronym stands for a different risk factor associated with flying: Personal, aircraft, environment and external pressures. As part of the risk management process, these risk factors should be identified and the pilot should decide what his or her personal minimums for flight should be based on his own self-assessment. The PAVE checklist is meant to be use during the preflight planning stage of a flight.

One of the benefits to using the PAVE checklist is that it allows for pilots to set their own personal minimums and stick to them. Each person will have different minimums based on many their own specific flight experience, health habits and tolerance for stress, to name a few. A pilot's minimums will change over time -- as they become comfortable in a particular airplane or environment, for example -- but should never be modified or reduced just to rationalize the desire to get off the ground.

Personal:
Personal minimums will include pilot health and experience, and can be evaluated in depth with the I'M SAFE checklist. How many hours of sleep do you usually need to function well? Are you healthy? Have you battled any illness or are you on any medications? How much flight experience do you have in the aircraft you're about to fly? How many hours have you flown in the past week/month/year? Are you rusty? Stressed? All of these factors can affect your flight.
