The procedural, psychomotor, and perceptual skills used to control a specific aircraft or its systems.

• A. Situational awareness
• B. Slaved compass
• C. Skills and procedures
• D. Skin friction drag

Answer: (C)

The statement describes the hands-on abilities needed to operate an aircraft—the step-by-step actions (procedural), the coordinated physical control movements (psychomotor), and the interpretation of cues from the cockpit and environment (perceptual) used to manage the aircraft or its systems. This combination is what pilots rely on to actually fly and handle the airplane, so it fits the term skills and procedures. Situational awareness focuses on understanding what’s happening around you, not the execution of tasks. A slaved compass is simply a navigation instrument, and skin friction drag is an aerodynamic concept related to air resistance on the aircraft’s surface.
