A situation develops quickly in flight and the remote PIC feels rushed and uncertain. Which habit best protects the quality of the decision?
- A.Act on the first idea to avoid wasting time
- B.Slow the situation down if possible, use a known model or checklist, and involve the crew's observations
- C.Hand the problem to the client for a decision
Correct answer
B. Slow the situation down if possible, use a known model or checklist, and involve the crew's observations
Why
Time pressure is when structured habits earn their keep, because unaided snap judgments are most error-prone under stress. Creating even a few seconds to think, and using crew input, measurably improves the outcome.
