Three out of four accidents result from improper human performance. The human
element is the most flexible, adaptable, and valuable part of the aviation system, but it
is also the most vulnerable to influences that can adversely affect its performance.
961. Haze can give the illusion that the aircraft is
 A. closer to the runway than it actually is.
 B. farther from the runway than it actually is.
 C. the same distance from the runway as when there is no restriction to visibility.
Atmospheric haze can create an illusion of being at a greater distance from the
runway than you actually are.
962. Error management evaluation
 A. should recognize not all errors can be prevented.
 B. may include error evaluation that should have been prevented.
 C. must mark errors as disqualifying.
It is certainly desirable to prevent as many errors as possible, but since they cannot all
be prevented, detection and recovery from errors should be addressed in training.
Error management (error prevention, detection, and recovery) should be considered in
the evaluation of pilots, as well as the fact that since not all errors can be prevented, it
is important that errors be managed properly.
963. When an aircraft pilot takes off as ordered in the afternoon when embedded
thunderstorms are indicated on radar and NOAA is broadcasting weather watches, it
might be described as an example of
 A. the resigned effect.
 B. an anti-authority attitude.
 C. an impulsive attitude.
ADM addresses the following five hazardous attitudes: Antiauthority (don't tell me!),
Impulsivity (do something quickly!), Invulnerability (it won't happen to me), Macho (I
can do it), and Resignation (what's the use?). This pilot is exhibiting a resigned
attitude by leaving the departure decision up to others. Pilots who think, "What's the
use?" will leave the action to others and may even go along with unreasonable
requests.
Answer (B) is incorrect because the question involves an example of the pilot following
the authority to a fault. Answer (C) is incorrect because the question involves an
example of a pilot following orders; the impulsive attitude is demonstrated when the
pilot does not select the best alternative and they do the first thing that comes to mind.
964. When making an approach to a narrower-than-usual runway, without VASI assistance,
the pilot should be aware that the approach
 A. altitude may be higher than it appears.
