SRM Scenario

Duluth to Chicago

2

Single-Pilot Resource Management Training (SRM) Is the art and science

of managing all resources (both from on-board and external sources) available to the single-pilot (prior to and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.

3

SRM Single Pilot Resource Management is about the unique situations we find ourselves in the “Technically Advanced Aircraft”

Weather Traffic Cockpit Automation Data-Link Systems Passengers

Follows the lead provided by the airline industry to improve flight safety through CRM training.

Human factors-related accidents motivated the airline industry to implement CRM training for flight crews.

Now, pilot-error related accidents are motivating single-pilot operators to implement SRM training.

SRM Training Focuses On Situational Awareness Task Management Automation Management Risk Management Aeronautical Decision Making CFIT Awareness

5

Practice of desirable behaviors during times of low stress increases the likelihood that emergencies will be handled effectively.

What this means to us:

TAA pilots should make SRM procedures a regular part of every flight. A well practiced habit that can be relied upon in times of stress. Before SRM can become a habit, we have to learn it!!

The SRM 5P Check: The “5P” Check

The Plan? The Plane? The Pilot? The Passengers? The Programming?

The “Decision Points” Before Leaving the Flight

Pilot/Owner SR 22 (PFD/TKS/Datalink Weather/Traffic)

Just completed the CIRRUS Standardized Instructor Program (CSIP)

Leaving Duluth Saturday afternoon with two other Flight Instructors One is a friend One you've just met at the FITS seminar

All three want to go home to be with their families VFR at Duluth, MVFR enroute, MVFR at Chicago GPS database is not current

•Engine shows 1 quart lower than you expected•A friend asks you to carry an additional 100 lb•Clearance delivery gives you an IFR ATC ground hold for 30 minutes•Passenger No 2 is quiet and makes several trips to the rest room but is very positive about the trip

Pre-Takeoff

DLL – One Hour After Takeoff

•In clear at 9000•DPA 1500 OVC and 3 mi•Oil Temp is down 3 degrees•Oil Pressure is up 2 lbs•Minneapolis Center gives new routing--- --- adds about 15 minutes to your ETA

17

Groundspeed is down 10 knots from planned ATC requests an altitude change. Your

choice of 7000’ or 11,000’. Temp at 7000’ is 4 C and temp at 11,000’ is 1 C.

NUELG – Two Hours After takeoff

5 P’sWhat are the risks now?

What are you going to do about it?

18

After the altitude change, ice begins to form on the windshield.

Minneapolis Center reports a radar outage and asks you to report the next intersection.

Back seat passenger asks “are we there yet?” Oil Pressure up one more lb and temp down 2 degrees. You notice the autopilot is having more trouble

maintaining wings level and appears less stable in pitch. Becoming dark outside and you are in and out of the

clouds.

5 P’sHave the risks changed?Has our plan changed?

19

ATC advises to report IAF for resumption of ATC services Front seat passenger says they feel tired and queasy Back seat passenger is very quiet but asks

several times if everything is OK ATIS reports active runway is 2L, expect vectors to the

ILS ATC sequences you around jet traffic. Oil pressure is up 2 more lbs and oil temp is down 5

degrees.

Start Descent

5 P’sWhat are the risks now?

What are you going to do about it?

20

IAF

•Cirrus NX 211 expect vectors to Runway 2L, you are number four for the runway behind jet traffic, what speed can you maintain on final? •Autopilot is very sloppy now and seems unable to maintain heading or altitude.•Airspeed has dropped 20 knots.

5 P’sWhat is my physical and emotional state?

Is it too late to change the plan?What are the risks now?

21

ATC loses radar again ATC assigns you a full

VOR approach to another runway

After established outbound on the VOR approach, you recheck fuel

Passenger tells you they really need to use the bathroom

More ice on leading edge of wings

Do you declare an emergency?

Where do you land?

On the approach
