SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

This is the ability to accurately perceive what is happening in- and outside the aircraft, plus the ability to understand the meaning of different elements in the environment and the projection of their status in the near future (where the aircraft is, where it has been, and where it is going). To do this successfully, you have to know how things should be to recognize what’s wrong.

More simply, situational awareness means that the pilot’s idea of a situation equals reality. The process of achieving situational awareness consists of:
  1. Perceiving objects in the environment – Monitor;
  2. Understanding their meaning and impact – Evaluate;
  3. Correct prediction of changes to the environment and the future state of the objects for a sufficient period of time – Anticipate.
