1. One purpose of crew resource management (CRM) is to give crews tools to
Answer (B) is correct. (FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 2) CRM is focused on supporting ADM to proactively recognize safety-related hazards and mitigate the associated risks.

2. The most important key to risk management is
Answer (C) is correct. (FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 2) Management of external pressures is the single most important key to risk management because it is the one risk factor category that can cause a pilot to ignore all the other risk factors. External pressures put time-related pressure on the pilot and figure into a majority of accidents.

3. Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?
Answer (A) is correct. (AC 60-22, FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 2 and Glossary) Risk management is that part of the ADM process that relies on situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment to reduce risks associated with each flight.

4. A pilot and two passengers landed on a 2,100 foot east-west gravel strip with an elevation of 1,800 feet. The temperature is warmer than expected and after computing the density altitude it is determined the takeoff distance over a 50 foot obstacle is 1,980 feet. The airplane is 75 pounds under gross weight. What would be the best choice?
Answer (A) is correct. (FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 11) The majority of pilot-induced accidents occur during the takeoff and landing phases of flight. In this instance, the pilot in command of this aircraft has an important decision to make. The takeoff distance over a 50-foot obstacle appears on initial inspection to be possible (1,980 feet on a 2,100-foot runway). It is important to remember, however, the performance charts are based on ideal conditions and created by testing brand new aircraft with optimal performance and highly experienced test pilots at the controls. It would be ill-advised for this pilot to attempt to take off. The pilot should wait for the temperature to decrease and recalculate the takeoff performance.
