Risk Management is an element of the Single Pilot Resource Management (SRM) skillset; SRM also includes task and workload management, situational awareness and automation management etc.
Poor risk management is the root cause or major contributory cause of most fatal General Aviation accidents. The Single pilot needs to provide the risk management disciplines that normally are provided by a dispatcher, copilot and Standard Operating Procedures in Commercial Air Transport.
Good Risk management should result in the pilot taking no unnecessary or unacceptable risks.
