One that stuck in my mind was,
Which of the following is an unexpected error?
1. Something
2. Something
3. Something
4. Air traffic control giving you an incorrect instruction.
And aparently it wasn't # 4.

Definition: A threat is an external event or third party that; increases operational complexity, occurs outside the influence of the flight crew, requirs immediate crew attention to maintain safety.
Definition: An error is an action or inaction by flight crew that leads to deviations from organisational or flight crew intentions or expectations.

Or alternatively TEM is another way of viewing what happens in the operational environment and explains the error chain by defining the steps along the way.

TEM is utter bull**** and exists soley to provide psychologists some kind of paying employment.

Does Human Factors Exam now feature heavily in TEM content since it's introduction last year?
If so, whats the best approach to take when studying for this exam? (Which texts, documents)
From my PPL Test:
What is the last line of defense in the TEM structure
Answer: pilot
(got this wrong as TEM was released not long before my PPL exam and my flight school had failed to warn me of it's existence)

Lets say we have a ARFOR with some ****ty weather . Is the threat External , Enviromental or Expected external enviromental Threat?
After reading the CAAP regarding TEM there is NO mention of Enviromental or organisational but higgins stuff goes on about enviromental and organisational.
LOSA goes on about enviromental but whats CASA examining is it just internal ,external, latent ???
Anyone able to clarify this for me? It all seems so basic but after actually already attempting this exam is far from simple ! When I walked out of last exam I wrote down all the questions, well 30 of them so if your about to do this exam PM me and ill send em to you .. Have a few other subjects also ..

I did the ATPL Human Factors exam earlier this year....out of the 30 Questions...11 were TEM The obvious bottom line is that TEM is a big part of this exam now and if you cant get your head around it, you wont get the 70% pass.

Some links that might help
During my studies of HUF I found these links to be of use:

Gday all,
sorry for rehashing this topic- but im about to sit AHUF and just a little confused as to the difference between External threats which are defined by tait as the environment the aircraft is operating in, and environmental threats which has the same definition!
Sure both involve such things as weather phenomena- TS, turbulence etc but is there any point of delineation so that if one is asked such a question you could definitively say its an external expected threat say versus an environmental threat.
Recent reports seem to indicate 40-50% of the exam is now TEM- any qs anyone has found or sat recently with advice ?
Cheers,
N

casa notes ok
I sat the ATPL HUF exam a few weeks ago and had no problems. Get the 'safety behaviours-human factors for pilots' notes sent to you from casa. It costs 15 bucks for postage. READ the notes and a Tait text for the other stuff on illusions etc and you will have no problem. If you can't pass with that - address your study techniques. Happy reading.
(P.S - another good read is chapter 11 out of the latest ATC HUF text)

Whoa. 2 year old thread.
I'm sitting the exam in 2 weeks so I'll know better after that.
In regards to TEM here are some links.
Bob Tait's TEM
CASA's Safety Behaviours (No postage needed!) I think you want the facilitators guide.
CASA Safeskies Slideshow (pretty pictures for the easily distracted)
CASA TEM CAAP 5.59-1(0)
CASA's ATPL Syllabus for TEM (Handy questions)
Sometimes linking directly to CASA's website doesn't really work so just right click and copy the link and paste it into the address bar to get it to work. Sometimes I even have to paste it into google to get it to work on my computer.
Apparently you'll save time if you pre-study some aircraft accidents such as Portland, Tenerife, Everglades, Erebus.

I am inclined to side with das Über Soldat. Who gives a rat's whether a threat is external, internal, diurnal or nocturnal? If it exists, surely it is enough to identify it and deal with it.
In my day we called staying safe 'airmanship' and the good old guard instructors and checkies hammered it home at every opportunity.
Perhaps the 'man' bit is politically incorrect? In which case how about a new subject called CDF (common dog f....)

Statements like
seem extreme to me. TEM was born out of the LOSA initiative as a means of depicting how things were dealt with on actual flights and I imagine (but don't know for sure, correct me if I´m wrong) that it wasn´t developed by psychologists at all.
In my opinion, TEM is a framework for teaching CDF to inexperienced people. When you first join the aviation industry you are not as skilled at anticipating potential problems and avoiding them as you are when you leave the aviation industry 10, 20 30 years later. Your CDF is built upon and honed over the years.
TEM gives young folk a kickstart, a helping hand to begin understanding the importance of always looking forward, always being on the lookout for things that are out of sequence or not a usual part of the operation etc. They can then go on and gain the experience that older aviators gained, but hopefully they didn´t start in the deep end like we did, they started with the water just over their ears, feet kicking furiously.
