SRM stands for what concept in pilot resource management?

• A. Satellite Radio Management
• B. Standard Runway Measurement
• C. Single-Pilot Resource Management
• D. Systematic Risk Management

Answer: (C)

Single-Pilot Resource Management focuses on applying resource-management principles to flights conducted by a single pilot. It means planning ahead, assessing workload, and using all available resources—aircraft systems, automation, charts, checklists, weather information, and external help such as air traffic control—to stay situationally aware and make sound decisions. The goal is to prevent overload, keep priorities straight, and manage risks by anticipating contingencies and keeping margin for error, even when you don’t have a second crew member. By diligently managing time, tasks, and stress, you can operate safely within the limits of your capabilities and the airplane. This concept mirrors CRM but is tailored to one-pilot operations.
