FI.I.F.K2 Teaching risk management tools, including:
FI.I.F.K2aa. Pilot/Aircraft/enVironment/External Pressures (PAVE) checklist
FI.I.F.K2bb. Flight Risk Assessment Tools (FRATs)
FI.I.F.K3 When and how to introduce risk management.
FI.I.F.K4 Risk management teaching techniques by phase of instruction.
FI.I.F.K5 Managing risk during flight instruction, including:
FI.I.F.K5aa. Common flight instruction risks
FI.I.F.K5bb. Best practices
FI.I.F.K5cc. Special considerations while teaching takeoffs and landings
FI.I.F.K6 Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) to include using Crew Resource Management (CRM) or Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM), as appropriate.
Risk Management: The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:
FI.I.F.R1 Hazards associated with providing flight instruction.
FI.I.F.R2 Obstacles to maintaining situational awareness during flight instruction.
FI.I.F.R3 Recognizing and managing hazards arising from human behavior, including hazardous attitudes.
Skills: The applicant exhibits the skill to:
