Aviation Risk Perception. The ability to accurately estimate the amount of risk in a situation is a vital skill for pilots. It lets you assign resources to mitigate high-risk situations, while not wasting efforts on low-risk conditions. Click on this link and try two exercises to evaluate your risk assessment skills. |
Hazard Perception Test. Are you a flight instructor or a high-time (more than 1,000 hours) general aviation pilot? If so, we could use your help in evaluating a new assessment tool designed to measure the perception of hazards. Click on the link and complete the test and your responses will become the scoring key for other pilots. |

Risk Management and Good Decision Making. The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand, in cooperation with the Aviation Industry Association, produced two training programs dealing with risk management and aeronautical decision making. Both these programs give good introductions to these topics and offer some worthwhile suggestions for improving your risk managment and decision making. |
Density Altitude and the Deadly Sins. This presentation by an NTSB investigator highlights what you don't know about operations under high density altitude that will kill you. |
