- 2. Situational ... The accurate perception and understanding of all elements and conditions affecting safety and operations within the flight environment
- 5. Sleep ... The condition of not having enough sleep, leading to fatigue and reduced alertness
- 10. To intentionally ignore or not follow an instruction, alert, or warning (only done when it's confirmed to be inappropriate or incorrect)
- 15. ... altitude, The altitude at or below which aircraft altitude is referenced to local pressure (QNH), above which it’s referenced to standard pressure (1013.25 hPa).
- 17. ... damage. Major damage to the aircraft structure or systems that affects performance or safety, not including minor issues like dents or scratches
- 19. Engine ... A severe disruption of airflow through the engine, causing power loss, loud bangs, and possible damage
- 20. To ... a go-around. To abort a landing approach and climb back into the traffic pattern due to unsafe conditions or ATC instruction
Down
- 1. Runway ... Any unauthorized presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the runway, creating a safety hazard
- 3. When the flaps or slats do not extend or retract evenly on both wings, potentially affecting flight stability
- 4. To enter the ... To join a holding pattern where aircraft hold at different altitudes waiting for clearance to proceed
- 6. ... loss of separation. A situation where to aircraft are predicted to breach the minimum required separation within a very short time
- 7. ... action. An action, such as changing speed or route, instructed by the ATC to slow an aircraft's arrival to manage traffic flow
- 8. ... stress. Continuous exposure to stress over an extended period, which can negatively affect pilot performance and decision-making.
- 9. High ... A condition where engine exhaust temperature exceeds safe limits, indicating possible engine problems
- 11. A small wind-driven emergency generator used when main power is lost
- 12. Stabiliser trim ... A malfunction where the stabiliser trim keeps moving uncontrollably, potentially affecting pitch control

- 14. cross-... The practice of verifying actions or data by checking with a secondary source or person to ensure accuracy and safety.
- 16. TCAS ... A mandatory avoidance instruction issued by the TCAS, requiring immediate pilot response to avoid mid-air collision
- 18. Level... A deviation from an assigned flight level or altitude by more than 300 feet, potentially compromising separation with other aircraft.
