Attitude in aviation - Aeronautical Decision Making

FAA Research on ADM showing (1987) :training in ADM 10 – 50 % less ADMrelated accident.

FAA publication on Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM): AC #60-22 (December 1991) Approach to risk management How Attitude affects ADM Attitude self-profiling How attitude can be changed


Definitions (AC #60-22)

ADM: Systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in a given set of circumstances

Personality is the embodiment of personal traits and characteristic of an individual that are set at a very early age and extremely resistant to change


Attitude

Attitude is a personal motivational predisposition to respond to persons, situation, or events in a given manner.

Attitude management is the ability to recognisee hazardous attitudes in oneself and the willingness to modify them as necessary

FAA recognises 5 hazardous attitudes in aviation

What’s the use ?

Antidote I am not helpless,

What is this guy’s attitude ?


Example of Good Attitude All who are practically concerned

with aerial navigation agree that thesafety of the operator is more important to successful experimentation than any other point.

The history of past investigation demonstrates that greater prudence is needed rather than greater skill.(Wilbur Wright – 1901 – two 2 years before first flight)


Attitude Change

Attitudes are relatively constant but not necessarily permanentRole of experienceAttitude change through cognition

(learning)Attitude change through emotions


ConclusionGood ADM depends on: Safe attitude:

Is knowing one’s attitude Ability to modify one’s attitude Ability to cope with stress

Learning the pitfalls Avoiding the pitfalls


Steps for good ADM Identifying personal hazardous attitudes Learning behavioural modification

techniques Learning how to recognise and cope

with stress Develop risk assessment skills Using all resources Evaluating the effectiveness of one’s

ADM skills


Knowing Operational Pitfalls

Flying when unwell Neglect of preparation Peer pressure Mind set Get-there-itis Duck under syndrome

(IFR approach) Scud running VFR in IMC

Getting behind aircraft

Loss of situational awareness

Low fuel reserve Descent below minima –

en route Flying outside the aircraft

Safe attitude is also about acknowledging what we don’t know

What I know

What I know I know

What I Don’t want to know

What I don’t know I know
