Aeronautical Decision Making

Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) is a systematic approach pilots use to make informed decisions during flight. It involves assessing situations, evaluating options, and considering the potential consequences of each choice. Pilots gather information about weather, aircraft performance, and personal factors, and they apply critical thinking and experience to ensure safety. ADM emphasizes risk management, helping pilots make decisions that minimize hazards while optimizing performance. Ultimately, it ensures that pilots can respond effectively to unexpected challenges in order to maintain safety in aviation, promoting a disciplined and structured decision-making process.
