What does TEM stand for?

• A. Threats and Errors Management
• B. Threat and Error Management
• C. Teamwork, Efficiency, and Monitoring
• D. Tactics, Emergency, and Movement Control

Answer: (B)

Threat and Error Management is a safety framework used in aviation to identify threats and errors before they lead to undesirable outcomes. A threat is any external condition that could push flight operations off course, such as weather, complex airspace, or fatigue. An error is a human action or inaction that deviates from intended procedures. TEM emphasizes recognizing and mitigating threats, catching errors early, and implementing defenses, along with effective communication and decision-making. In SkyWest IMT training, TEM is taught as the standard approach to maintaining safety by actively managing risk. The other options don’t reflect the widely accepted aviation term.
