  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Hazard and Risk › V = EnVironment

    really important trips, plan to leave early enough so that there would still be time to drive to the destination, if necessary. A pilot must continually make decisions about competency, condition of health, mental and emotional state, level of fatigue ... many other variables. For example, a pilot may be called early in the morning to make a long flight. If a pilot has had only a few hours of sleep and is concerned that the congestion being experienced could…

  • Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight › Analytical Decision-Making

    automation proficiently and at the appropriate level reduces risk and helps prevent incidents and accidents. Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight Introduction ADM Background Analytical Decision-Making Introduction This chapter focuses on the pilot aeronautical decision-making (ADM) skills ... used to mitigate risk factors while in flight. Advisory Circular (AC) 60-22, Aeronautical Decision-Making [Figure 8-1], provides additional information, background references, definitions, and other pertinent information about ADM training in the general aviation environment and is available…

  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › The Decision-Making Process › The 5 Ps Check

    first decision point is preflight in the flight planning room, where all the information is readily available to make a sound decision, and where communication and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services are readily available to make alternate travel plans ... second easiest point in the flight to make a critical safety decision is just prior to takeoff. Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot…

    issued. FIG 4-1-1 Induced Error in Position of Traffic EXAMPLE-In FIG 4-1-1 traffic information would be issued to the pilot of aircraft “A” as 12 o’clock. The actual position of the traffic as seen ... pilot of aircraft “A” would be 2 o’clock. Traffic information issued to aircraft “B” would also be given as 12 o’clock, but in this case, the pilot of “B” would see the traffic at 10 o’clock…

  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Decision-Making in a Dynamic Environment › Operational Pitfalls

    Experts appear to make provisional sense of a situation, without actually reaching a decision, by launching experience-based actions that in turn trigger creative revisions. This is a reflexive type of decision-making anchored in training and experience ... most often used in times of emergencies when there is no time to practice analytical decision-making. Naturalistic or automatic decision-making improves with training and experience, and a pilot will find himself or herself using a combination of decision…

  • Chapter 10: Aeronautical Decision-Making and Judgment › The Decision-Making Process › Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM)

    Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) is about how to gather information, analyze it, and make decisions. Learning how to identify problems, analyze the information, and make informed and timely decisions is not as straightforward ... analyze each situation in light of experience level, personal minimums, and current physical and mental readiness level, and make his or her own decision. Perceive, Process, Perform (3P) Model The Perceive, Process, Perform (3P) model for ADM offers a simple…
