F igure 62.— Rectangular Course.

Vision and Flight To scan effectively, pilots must look from right to left or left to right. They should begin scanning at the greatest distance an object can be perceived (top) and move inward toward the position of the aircraft (bottom). For each stop, an area approximately 30° wide should be scanned. The duration of each stop is based on the degree of detail that is required, but no stop should last longer than 2 to 3 seconds. When moving from one viewing point to the next, pilots should overlap the previous field of view by 10°. Risk Management "Pilot Attitudes" • Anti-authority = The Rule Breaker

Antidote: Follow the rules. • Impulsivity = Acting Fast Antidote: Not so fast, think first. • Invulnerability = Not Me Type Antidote: It could happen to me • Macho = Strong Risky

Antidote: taking chances is foolish • Resignation = Scared Nervous Antidote: I’m not helpless. I can make a difference.
