Risk Management Handbook (FAA-H-8083-2A)11906 • Average true airspeed at 10,000 feet: 152 knots 11907 • Calculated takeoff distance at 25º C, 6,700 feet pressure altitude, no wind, and 2,740 pounds: 4,700 feet over a 50- foot obstacle 11908 • Calculated takeoff distance at 25º C, 6,700 feet pressure altitude, no wind, and 2,500 pounds: 3,600 feet over a 50- foot obstacle Environment 11909 The following is in addition to weather data mentioned earlier: 11910 • Temperatures at Animas Air Park (00C): 25º C mornings, 35º C afternoons, calm winds 11911 • California weather forecast: Good VFR except morning fog on the coast 11912 • Arizona weather forecast: Good VFR weather on Monday, marginal VFR Tuesday Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis 11913 Tricia decides to begin her risk analysis by identifying the potential hazards and associated risks for the flight to Santa Rosa, using the PAVE checklist. The various hazards and risks may overlap in more than one checklist category, but she wants to identify all the hazards and risks and may consolidate them later in the process. Pilot 11914 • She is IFR current, but it has been four months since her last proficiency event. This hazard could increase the risk of loss of control in IMC. 11915 • If she consumes alcohol, she needs to allow for a minimum of eight hours prior to the planned departure on Tuesday to be legal. She also needs to be free from any aftereffects from alcohol, which could be magnified by the altitude and result in dehydration. This hazard could increase errors. 11916 • She has been going to bed late and getting up early in Durango. This fatigue hazard could increase the risk of making errors. Aircraft 11918 • She is concerned about the range/payload trade-off for her airplane. Reducing the range by trading fuel weight for payload could increase the risk of fuel exhaustion. 16110 • Tricia also knows that her aircraft is not approved for flight in known icing conditions and that an icing encounter could lead to loss of control. 11917 • She is concerned about the takeoff from Animas Air Park at gross weight, considering the runway length. This potential hazard could create a risk for an overrun or stall after takeoff. Her personal minimums include a 20 percent additional margin over calculated runway takeoff distance.
