QUESTIONUsing the 3P model, a remote pilot has perceived the hazards of a flight with the PAVE checklist and processed them with the CARE checklist. In the Perform step, the pilot chooses among which four options?

  1. AConsequences, Alternatives, Reality, or External factors.
  2. BTransfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate.
  3. CPilot, Aircraft, enVironment, or External pressures.
Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate.

  • A — incorrect These make up the CARE checklist, which is used in the Process step, not the Perform step.
  • B — correct The study guide says pilots perform risk management by using the TEAM choice list of Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate.
  • C — incorrect These make up the PAVE checklist, which is used in the Perceive step to identify hazards.

BACKGROUND

The Perceive, Process, Perform (3P) model offers a simple, systematic approach to aeronautical decision-making (ADM) that can be used during all phases of flight. The Remote Pilot Study Guide pairs each step with a checklist. Pilots perceive hazards with the PAVE checklist of Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, and External pressures. They process hazards with the CARE checklist of Consequences, Alternatives, Reality, and External factors. Finally, they perform risk management with the TEAM choice list of Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate. The guide also recommends adding an Evaluate step so the cycle runs continuously.

STUDY TIP

Match each 3P step to its checklist: Perceive with PAVE, Process with CARE, Perform with TEAM.

KEY POINTS

  • The 3P model is Perceive, Process, Perform.
  • PAVE identifies hazards, CARE evaluates them, and TEAM acts on them.
  • TEAM stands for Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, or Mitigate.
