In addition
to the five hazardous attitudes, these accident-inducing qualities, the
behavioral traps are: Peer Pressure; Mind Set, Get-There-Itis; Duck-Under
Syndrome; Scud Running; Continuing Visual Flight Rules (VFR) into Instrument Conditions;
Getting Behind the Aircraft; Loss of Positional/Situational Awareness; Operating
Without Adequate Fuel Reserves; Descent Below the Minimum En Route Altitude
(MEA); Flying Outside the Envelope; and Neglect of Flight Planning, Preflight Inspections,
and Checklists. In order to assist pilots in managing these behaviors, in 1991 the
FAA published the Advisory Circular (AC) 60-22 named Aeronautical Decision Making
(ADM), commonly known as the ADM manual.
It is generally
accepted that personality has an influence on behavior and that this, in turn,
places an individual at greater or less risk of accident involvement (Hunter,
2005), despite the fact an accident inclined personality type has been
difficult to establish (Grey, Triggs, & Haywarth, 1989; McKenna, 1988).
This
research drew from U.S. aviation accidents attributed to flight crew error from
1991 to 2013.
