What is PAVE checklist?
The PAVE checklist is a great way to evaluate your personal minimums and hazards you could experience when flying. Each letter stands for a different risk when flying; Personal/Pilot, Aircraft, EnVironment, and External Pressures. These are the factors a pilot must take into account when making their decision to fly.
How can a pilot reduce or eliminate the risks associated with flying in a constantly changing weather EnVironment?
For example, the pilot flying from point A to point B (50 miles) in MVFR conditions has several ways to reduce risk: Wait for the weather to improve to good visual flight rules (VFR) conditions. Take an instrument-rated pilot. Delay the flight.
What are the Arrow documents?
The ARROW acronym—Airworthiness Certificate, Registration, Radio License, Operating Limitations, Weight and Balance is fairly straight forward until you get to the Operating Limitations and Weight and Balance part.
What is the 3P model?
3P Model (Perceive, Process, and Perform). To use the 3P model, the pilot: Perceives the given set of circumstances for a flight. Processes by evaluating the impact of those circumstances on flight safety. Performs by implementing the best course of action.
What are the three predictors of good hazard recognition?
Hazard identification processes should be based on a combination of reactive, proactive, and predictive methods of safety data collection.
Why is being an airline pilot stressful?
An airline pilot can be an extremely stressful job due to the workload, responsibilities and safety of the thousands of passengers they transport around the world. Being a pilot is considered a unique job that requires managing high workloads and good psychological and physical health.
What was the best close air support aircraft of its generation?

What is the history of close air support?
Born in the desperate last days of World War I, close air support is now over a hundred years old. From the trench-strafing carnage of the 1910s, via the murderous Spanish Civil War, close air support came of age in the Second World War.
What was the best way for airpower to support battlefield troops?
According to Air Force legend, the best way for airpower to support Army battlefield troops was proven in Operation Torch in North Africa in 1943. The trouble is that the ground forces were not that impressed with the proof, and they did not subscribe to the legend.
What did Far East Air Forces do in the Korean War?
That, however, was the lesser part of the effort by Far East Air Forces. The great majority of FEAF missions were in aid of the ground battle: 23 percent of them close air support and 55 percent interdiction. In the early months of the war, FEAF threw everything it had, including B-29 bombers, against the North Korean invaders.
