10 ADM Part 1

ADM- Aeronautical Decision-Making

Systematic approach to determine the best decisions based on the circumstances

Human error leads to 80% of all aviation accidents

Majority during landing and take off

ADM has been used for over 25 years

Incorporates Crew Resource Management (CRM)

Included in sUAS test

Tested with a variety of skilled pilots, when using 10-50% fewer errors

Steps for Good Decision-Making

1.

Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight

2.

Learning behavior modification techniques

3.

Learning how to recognize and cope with stress

4.

Developing risk assessment skills

5.

Using all resources

6.

Evaluating the effectiveness of one’s ADM skills

4 principles of risk management

1.

Accept no unnecessary risk. Flying is not possible without risk, but
unnecessary risk comes without a corresponding return

2.

Make risk decisions at the appropriate level. Risk decisions should be made
by the person who can develop and implement risk controls.

3.

Accept risk when benefits outweigh dangers (costs).

4.

Integrate risk management into planning at all levels. Because the risk is an
unavoidable part of every flight, safety requires the use of appropriate and
effective risk management not just in the preflight planning stage, but in all
stages of the flight.

CRM

Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM)

Incorporates all the concepts of ADM, risk management (RM), task management
(TM), automation management (AM), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT)
awareness, and situational awareness (SA)

ADM
