Answer 0

D etect a change needing attention.
E stimate the need to counter or react to a change.
C hoose the most desirable outcome for the flight.
I dentify actions to successfully control the change.
D o something to adapt to the change.
E valuate the effect of the action countering the change.

Question 1

• DUPLICATE*

1. Define the term “aeronautical decision-making.” (FAA-H-8083-9)

Answer 1

Aeronautical decision making (ADM) is a systematic approach to the mental process used by aircraft pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances. The two most commonly used models for practicing ADM are the Decide model and the 3P model.

Question 2

• DUPLICATE*

3. Describe the 3P model used in ADM. (FAA-H-8083-2)

Answer 2

Perceive hazards by using the PAVE checklist:
Pilot—experience, currency, physical and emotional condition
Aircraft—fuel reserves, performance, experience in type, aircraft equipment
enVironment—airport conditions, weather, runways, lighting, terrain
External pressures—allowance for delays and diversions; alternative plans, personal equipment
Process hazards by using the CARE checklist to help evaluate the level and severity of risk:
Consequences—evaluate consequences that could arise due to each hazard
Alternatives—continuously evaluate all available options and alternatives
Reality—acknowledge and address the reality of the situation and avoid wishful thinking
External pressures—be mindful of external pressures, especially “get-home-itus.”
Perform risk management by using the TEAM options to deal with each factor:
Transfer—can the risk decision be transferred to someone else; can you consult someone?
Eliminate—is there a way to eliminate the hazard?
Accept—do the benefits of accepting the risk outweigh the costs?
Mitigate—what can you do to reduce the risk?

Question 3

• DUPLICATE*

4. How will you use the 3P model to recognize and mitigate risks throughout a flight? (FAA-H-8083-9)

Answer 3

Once a pilot has completed the 3P decision process and selected a course of action, the process begins again because the circumstances brought about by the course of action require analysis. The decision-making process is a continuous loop of perceiving, processing and performing.

Question 4

• DUPLICATE*
  5. Name five hazardous attitudes that can affect a pilot’s ability to make sound decisions and properly exercise authority. (FAA-H-8083-9)

Answer 4

Attitude - Antidote
Anti-authority (“Don’t tell me.”) - Follow the rules—they are usually right.
Impulsivity (“Do it quickly.”) - Think first—not so fast.
Invulnerability (“It won’t happen to me.”) - It could happen to me.
Macho (“I can do it.”) - Taking chances is foolish.
Resignation (“What’s the use?”) - I can make a difference, I am not helpless.”
