Once risk assessment is complete, the pilot must address all high risk areas
and most medium risk areas through risk mitigation.

Risk Mitigation

Through effective use of technology and procedures, most risks can be
effectively mitigated. Eclipse 500 pilots can use the aircraft's advanced
technology to their advantage during risk mitigation.
Example:
Pilots may take on a reduced fuel load to reduce takeoff weight, and
potential engine out risk, during a takeoff from a high density altitude
airport.
The objective should be to reduce risk likelihood and/or severity from high
or moderate levels to low or moderate levels. Moderate risks can be
accepted, providing the pilot is willing to accept them on behalf of him/her
and his/her passengers. However, the pilot should ensure that all available
steps have been taken to reduce risk likelihood and or severity, regardless
of the risk level.
In rare cases, if risks can not be mitigated or accepted, the pilot may need
to cancel or delay a flight, or shift to another transportation mode.
Advanced risk planning is therefore essential.

Risk Management Tools

The risk management process can be simplified through use of a risk
management tool and a risk assessment matrix.
developed a risk management tool (Figure 1 on pg. 9) for Eclipse 500 pilots to
use in identifying, assessing and mitigating risk. The tool is accompanied by a
risk assessment matrix developed by the FAA to classify risk severity and
likelihood to arrive at an overall level of risk for each risk factor identified.
The risk management tool uses the well known industry/FAA PAVE (Pilot,
Aircraft, EnVironment, External Factors) model to identify risks. Using the tool
and the risk assessment matrix, the pilot can then assess and classify risks for
each PAVE category and element. The tool (second page) then uses the less
well known FAA developed TEAM (Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, Mitigate) model
to mitigate risk.

Risk Management Procedures

1. Eclipse 500 pilots will use the risk management tool and assessment
matrix and the following procedures on all training and mentoring flights.
