Awareness
Aakash Bhagat, Kirby Cole, and Susan Read
Definition
• “Situational awareness means the pilot is aware of what is
happening around pilot’s aircraft at all times in both the
vertical and horizontal plane. This includes the ability to
project the near term status and position of the aircraft in
relation to the aircraft, terrain, and other potential hazards.”
Overview
• Preparation/Planning/Vigilance
 Vigilance
 Stress
 Fatigue
 Perception
• Workload Distribution/Distraction Avoidance
 Automation Philosophy
 Distraction Avoidance
 Complacency Avoidance
 End Deterioration
Preparation/Planning/Vigilance
These behaviors relate to crews anticipating contingencies
and the various actions that may be required. Excellent
crews are always “ahead of the curve” and generally seem
relaxed. They devote appropriate attention to required tasks
and respond without undue delay to new developments
Perception
• Demonstrating and expressing situational awareness
• Cockpit and cabin crewmembers are aware of plans
• Including all appropriate crewmembers in the planning
process
• Timing programming of the flight management computer
• All crewmembers are aware of initial entries and change
entries in the flight management system
Vigilance
• Monitoring of all instruments and communications
• Monitoring weather and traffic
• Sharing Relevant information
• Staying “ahead of the curve”
Stress
• IMSAFE Checklist
• Avoiding “tunnel vision” caused by stress
• Stress Management
Fatigue
• IMSAFE checklist
• Sleep debt
• Chronic fatigue
• Combating fatigue
Workload Distribution & Distraction
Avoidance
These behaviors relate to time and workload management.
They reflect how well the crew manages to prioritize tasks,
share the workload, and avoid being distracted from
essential activities.
Distraction Avoidance
• Sterile cockpit
• Potential distractions are anticipated
• Taking preventive action
• Prioritizing operational tasks
Complacency Avoidance
• Crewmembers speak up
• “What could I be doing right now?”
• Do not settle
Automation Philosophy
• Task priorities are clearly communicated
• Reducing or disengaging automated features as
appropriate
End Deterioration
• Crewmembers speak up when they recognize work
overloads in themselves or in others
• Task distribution

Thank you!
