- Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) › Scenario
about to end, the pilot based his time required to complete the flight on ideal conditions, and did not take into consideration the possibility of delays. This led to a feeling of being time limited. Even after determining the landing ... area was unsuitable, the pilot forced the landing due to time constraints. At any time during this sequence, the pilot could have aborted the flight rather than risk crew lives. Instead, the pilot became blinded by a determination to continue…
- Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) › Implementing the Decision and Evaluating the Outcome
important to think ahead and determine how the decision could affect other phases of the flight. As the flight progresses, a pilot must continue to evaluate the outcome of the decision to ensure that it is producing the desired result ... landing. Pilots sometimes have trouble not because of deficient basic skills or system knowledge, but because of faulty decision-making skills. Although aeronautical decisions may appear to be simple or routine, each individual decision in aviation often defines the options…
- Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › The Decision-Making Process › The Programming
analog instruments they replace, they tend to capture the pilot’s attention and hold it for long periods of time. To avoid this phenomenon, the pilot should plan in advance when and where the programming for approaches, route changes ... airport information gathering should be accomplished, as well as times it should not. Pilot familiarity with the equipment, the route, the local ATC environment, and personal capabilities vis-à-vis the automation should drive when, where, and how the automation…
- Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Go-Around
Around A go-around is a procedure for remaining airborne after an intended landing is discontinued. A go-around may be necessary when: • Instructed by the control tower. • Traffic conflict occurs. • The helicopter is in a position from which ... safe to continue the approach. Any time an approach is uncomfortable, incorrect, or potentially dangerous, abandon the approach. The decision to make a go-around should be positive and initiated before a critical situation develops. When the decision is made…
- Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Risk Management › Four Risk Elements
identify hazards, assess the degree of risk they pose, and determine the best course of action is an important element of a safe flight. Four Risk Elements During each flight, decisions must be made regarding events that involve interactions between ... four risk elements—the PIC, the aircraft, the environment, and the operation. The decision-making process involves an evaluation of each of these risk elements to achieve an accurate perception of the flight situation. [Figure…
- Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) › The Decision-Making Process
Decision-Making Process An understanding of the decision-making process provides a pilot with a foundation for developing ADM skills. Some situations, such as engine failures, require a pilot to respond immediately using established procedures with little time for detailed ... analysis. Called automatic decision-making, it is based upon training, experience, and recognition. Traditionally, pilots have been well trained to react to emergencies, but are not as well prepared to make decisions that require a more reflective response when greater…
