Attention:
- Research a case study:
- Discuss how the initial conditions developed into an incident/accident/mishap
- Relate similar personal experience of the same type of incident/accident/mishap
- Consider incorporating a case study as a guided scenario
Motivator:
- Cockpit management are the actions and procedures, starting with preflight, in which all necessary equipment, documents, checklists, and navigation charts appropriate for the flight are on board and easily accessible
- With this comes the need to keep things organized to reduce Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and confusion in flight
