CORRECT!

According to AC 60-22, the FAA's Advisory Circular on Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM), there are at least 5 hazardous attitudes which usually result in problems for the pilot. These are:

  - Antiauthority ('don't tell ME!')
  - Impulsivity ('do something quickly!')
  - Invulnerability ('it won't happen to ME!!')
  - Macho ('I can do it- I'll show them!')
  - Resignation ('what's the use?')

The way a pilot reacts to a given emergent situation usually determines the outcome of that situation. How many bad situations (engine failure in a twin-engine aircraft, for example) have been made worse by un-thinking and improper action by the pilot (mis-identifying the bad engine and so mis-handling the good, operating engine). The real challenge is to keep our heads in an emergency to give us the best chance at handling the situation properly and effectively. The use of checklists aids in this process, whether we 'read-and-do' (as in the pre-flight checklist) or 'do-and-read' (as in the emergency procedures checklist). Either way, we have to be thinking about what we are doing and not give in to panic, whatever the emergency.
