Risk Management Handbook | FAA Decoded Podcast #23
Welcome to Episode 23 of FAA Decoded! In this 26-minute episode, we dive into the essentials of risk management for pilots, based on the Risk Management Handbook (FAA-H-8083-2A). Discover how to prioritize safety, build confidence, and enjoy every flight to the fullest. We’ll explore the PAVE checklist—Pilot, Aircraft, Environment, and External Pressures—to identify hazards like poor decision-making or adverse weather, as seen in a fatal accident where a pilot continued into known icing conditions after an engine failure.
Learn to set personal minimums with six practical steps, including assessing weather categories (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) and adjusting for experience or fatigue. We’ll also cover the IMSAFE checklist (Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion) and real-world strategies like diversion or fuel stops, using a case study of a pilot mitigating risks on a cross-country flight. Whether you’re a recreational flyer or a business pilot, this episode equips you with tools to manage risks effectively.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
