PAVE Checklist - External Pressures

In the PAVE checklist, what does the final 'E' stand for, and why is it included?

  • A.Emergency equipment carried on site
  • B.Extra batteries available for the mission
  • C.External pressures, such as deadlines and client expectations, that can push a pilot toward unsafe choices
Correct answer

C. External pressures, such as deadlines and client expectations, that can push a pilot toward unsafe choices

Why

External pressures are included in PAVE because they distort decisions without changing the actual weather, aircraft, or pilot. Naming them in advance makes them easier to resist in the moment.
