Workshop on Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM). Volume 1. Executive Summary

Abstract

This report presents Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) training accomplishments, limitations and future needs from the perspectives of commercial operators, general aviation, military aviation and research development. A select group of experts on ADM was convened to share ideas, identify and explore future directions for advanced training. Cognitive training requirements based upon decision making task demands of both airplane and helicopter pilots and crews are analyzed. A major question which requires definitional research is: What is a real aircrew/pilot decision? -that is, when does an event generate a true decisional opportunity for a pilot or crew versus a one-path only reaction, where the actual emphasis is not on cognitive decision making, but the application of procedures and basic airmanship. Going one step further, the group analyzed the decision making differences between expert and novice pilots when a real decision was required.
