The first step of the 3P risk-management model is to perceive hazards using the PAVE checklist. According to the remote pilot study guide, the PAVE checklist organizes hazards into which four categories?

Why: The remote pilot study guide's ADM chapter describes the PAVE checklist as the first step of the 3P model: the pilot systematically identifies and lists hazards associated with Pilot, Aircraft, enVironment, and External pressures.

• Invents phase-of-flight categories; PAVE organizes hazards by source (pilot, aircraft, environment, external pressures), not by flight phase.
• Invents a procedural-sounding acronym that does not match the study guide's actual PAVE categories.
