IntroductionIntroduction
This visual guide defines airmanship and illustrates its importance to safe flight operations. Its objective is to reinforce the importance of airmanship as the basis of safe flight operations. The material may be used for self-study or as part of a formal training presentation. The speaker’s notes provide additional information.

Airmanship DefinedAirmanship Defined
Airmanship is the consistent use of good judgment and well-developed skills to accomplish flight objectives. The consistency required of good airmanship is:
– Founded on a cornerstone of uncompromising flight discipline
– Developed through systematic skill acquisition and proficiency
A high state of situational awareness completes the
airmanship picture and is obtained through knowledge of
one’s self, aircraft, environment, team and risk.
(Kern, 1996)

Consequences of Poor AirmanshipConsequences of Poor Airmanship
Accidents and incidents
Poor airmanship is a causal factor in almost all of the 70 percent
of accidents that are attributed to human factors
Operational weaknesses and inefficienciesPoor airmanship is responsible for operational weaknesses and
inefficiencies that lead to increased safety risk, poor performance
and wasted money

JudgmentJudgment
The “Building” of Airmanship Judgment — All of the elements of airmanship support good judgment and decision making, just as all of the structural elements of a building support its roof.
Knowledge enables situational awareness, but, like judgment, it is also a trait that must be developed.
In-depth knowledge of many subjects will support the thinking processes of Airmanship.
Airmanship is founded on skills and proficiency; it includes both technical and non-technical subjects.
Discipline is the bedrock of airmanship; it is the ability and willpower to fly safely.
2.PQ_05VIS
DisciplineDiscipline
Discipline is: Behavior in accord with rules of conduct Behavior and order maintained by training and control An individual’s personal commitment to comply with rules
and procedures The willpower and ability to operate safely
The exercise of discipline requires: Not accepting that rules must be broken to accomplish a job
effectively Rejecting opportunities for shortcuts or doing things better Resisting temptation to break rules to impress others Control of personal attitudes and biases

SkillsSkillsSkills are abilities that are learned, usually through training,
to achieve a desired outcome. Two basic classifications of skills
are:
Perceptual-motor skills, which involve an interaction between a perception
and a voluntary movement. Perceptual-motor skills are:
• Taught during initial and recurrent training
• Required to fly aircraft in normal and emergency situations
Cognitive skills, which involve mental processes such as comprehension,
judgment, memory and reasoning. Cognitive skills are:
• More complex than perceptual-motor skills
• Related to learning and recall
• Involved in gaining and maintaining situational awareness
and in decision making
• Used when speaking, listening and understanding

2.PQ_05VIS
Proficiency refers to competence in a specific area. Generally speaking, research has shown that it takes practice four hours a day for 10 years for a
person to become an “expert” in a particular domain. With this in mind, it is essential that pilots do the following to become proficient at flying:
Practice flying at every opportunity
Practice a variety of flying scenarios (e.g., nonprecision approaches, hand
flying, etc.)
Create meaningful situations that will expand your experience base (e.g., fly
new routes, learn a new aircraft, obtain an additional rating)
Practice often and practice consistently, so that skills become automatic
It is important to note that if a pilot transitions to a new aircraft, he/she may
have to learn new skills or relearn old skills in the context of the new
aircraft.

KnowledgeKnowledgePilots must possess comprehensive knowledge about the aircraft, natureof the flight, possible abnormal and emergency conditions, their ownqualities and the qualities of their team members. Pilots must have aconfident understanding of:
Aircraft• Procedures, techniques, limitations
Self• Physical fitness and flying proficiency
• Sources of human error, methods of error detection, techniques for reducing the effects of errors
Team• Capabilities and limitations of crew, ground staff, engineering and ATC
• Common understanding of aircraft characteristics and operating procedures
Environment• Weather and terrain
• Organizational, political, regulatory and commercial environments
Risks• Identification and assessment
• Organizational standards designed to reduce risks
Mission Statement• Corporate culture, philosophy and safety policies • Organization’s safety management system

Situational AwarenessSituational Awareness
Situational awareness is knowing where you are, what is going on, whereyou are going and what is likely to come next. It develops when you have amental picture based on accurate data. Situational awareness is a closed-loop
process in which a pilot continuously seeks more or better information to gain and maintain it.
Three processes in gaining and maintaining situational awareness:• Gather information through basic senses (vision, hearing,
balance, smell, touch)
• Integrate and interpret (i.e., comprehend) sensory information
• Use information to project plans and actions into future
Pitfalls in the development of situational awareness:• The senses can be fooled in some situations (e.g., illusions)
• Complete and reliable information may not be accessible, especially in situations you have not encountered before
• Information systems are not always reliable
• Incorrect expectations
• Distractions
• Extremely high (emergency) or extremely low workload (boredom)
• Overconfidence and familiarity with a situation that lead to failure to accomplish and repeat the three processes

Judgment Judgment
Judgment is the process that leads to a decision. Judgment is supported by all the other elements of airmanship. Similar to judgment, aeronautical decision making (ADM) is a systematic approach to the mental processes used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of
action in response to a given set of circumstances.
Good pilot judgment and ADM require the ability and motivation to:
• Discover and establish the relevance of all available
information relating to problems of flight
• Diagnose problems
• Specify alternative courses of action
• Assess the risk associated with each alternative
• Choose and execute a suitable course of action within
the available time frame. (Jensen, 1995)
Judgment always involves a problem or choice, an unknownelement and usually a time constraint and stress.
2.PQ_05VIS
Good airmanship based on sound judgment involves thefollowing order of priorities: Fly the aircraft — Check attitude, speed, altitude,
instruments and automation
Navigate — Know where the aircraft is and where it is going
Communicate — Discuss and review the issues, share tasks, back up each other
Manage — Take follow-up action and use appropriate levels of automation
Monitor — Check to see what has changed and take control when unexpected events occur
These are the “Golden Rules” of flying.

Be alert and prepared for typical flight-phase-related emergencies
Consider trajectory as priority no.1 at all times
Adhere to published procedures, when available
Never leave a situation unresolved (ambiguity, doubt, disagreement, alert or
cockpit effect)
Prioritize tasks as a function of prevailing condition
Keep all options open and be ready to change initial plans

and -— last but not least —
Be aware, to be mentally prepared.

SummarySummary
Airmanship is: Founded on discipline (self, team, corporate) Continuously striving for self-improvement and optimal personal
performance
Airmanship requires: A wide range of perceptual-motor skills A wide range of cognitive skills A wide range of knowledge (self, aircraft, environment, risk) Appropriate attitudes
Airmanship can be developed through trainingand refined through practice and experience.
