SRM (Single-pilot Resource Management)

1. The art and science of managing all the resources (both on-board the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.

2. Examples of the skills necessary for effective SRM

⓵ ADM (Aeronautical Decision Making)

⓶ RM (Risk Management)

⓷ TM (Task Management)

⓸ AM (Automation Management)

⓹ CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) awareness

⓺ SA (Situation Awareness)

3. An effective Method to practice SRM : “Five P"

- Plan : weather, route, publications, ATC reroutes/delays, fuel onboard/remaining

- Plane : mechanical status, automation status, database currency, backup systems

- Pilot : illness, medication, stress, alcohol, fatigue, eating

- Passengers : pilots/non-pilots, nervous or quiet, experienced or new, business or pleasure

  - Programming : autopilot, GPS, MFD/PFD; anticipate likely reroutes/clearances; questions to ask(What is it doing? Why is it doing it? Did I do it?)
