7-14  Single-Pilot Resource Management  Chapter Summary  As this training program evolves and new resources are introduced, aviation instructors may access web-based documents such as  the generic transition syllabus at www.faa.gov/.  As indicated by this chapter, it is possible to develop well-planned and organized instruction by using a training syllabus and lesson  plans that meet all regulatory certification requirements. By identifying and incorporating “blocks of learning”$_{ }$ into the teaching of  objectives, the instructor can plan lessons that build on prior knowledge. Maneuver and/or procedure training coupled with SBT will  help the aviation instructor train professional aviators and technicians who are able to gather and analyze information to aid in making  good aeronautical decisions and decrease risk factors, leading to a successful flight or maintenance outcome.  However, unless the pilot is trained to manage all of these factors and to let the aircraft automation assist, the workload may be very  high. SRM training helps the pilot maintain situational awareness by managing the automation and associated aircraft control and  navigation tasks. This enables the pilot to accurately assess, manage risk, and make accurate and timely decisions. SBT enhances  SRM because SBT helps pilots learn how to gather information, analyze it, and make decisions.  Figure 7-9.  Very light jet aircraft in flight.  The emergence of very light jet (VLJ) aircraft may also affect air travel.  [Figure 7-9]  Central to their economic success is the concept  of single-pilot operations. Since the aircraft is heavily automated, the pilot’s workload may actually be less than the current workload  in some high performance single-engine aircraft. This allows more time for the pilot to gather and analyze information about weather,  winds, landing conditions, fuel state, pilot physical condition, and passenger desires.  SRM is the art and science of managing all the resources (both on-board the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single  pilot (prior and during flight) to ensure that the successful outcome of the flight is never in doubt.
