Transcript of ADM and Pilotage
Jesse Hallenbeck, CFI
Goals To walk away with…
A refreshed memory Some new tools in the toolbox
To reflect on past experiences, and ideas gained from those experiences
To be a safer pilot!
Overview ADM
Why!?Concept Use
Pilotage Definition and Concept Basic Process Practical Use
Overview (continued)
Putting the pieces together How are ADM and Pilotage intertwined?What principals of ADM are involved when
planning a flight?What are some operation pitfalls that relate to
ADM? Resources to use in Flight Planning
ADM DefinedDefinition (AC 60-22)
“…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”
Steps for good decision making are Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight Learning behavior modification techniquesLearning how to recognize and cope with stress Developing risk assessment skills Using all resources in a multi-crew situation Evaluating the effectiveness of ones ADM skills
Why ADM?!80%
ADM Concept Provides a structured framework to decision
makingHelps to both reduce and manage risk by
helping the pilot first recognize the risk In short:
It is what a pilot intends to do based on the latest information he or she has.
Use Everything
Flight planning Operation of the aircraft Emergency situations Etc.
Pilotage Navigation by reference to landmarks or other
easily identifiable checkpoints It is the most common form of navigation and is often
used in conjunction with other forms of navigation
Basic ProcessFirst and Foremost you have correct and current
chartsUnfold and lay out your charts, giving yourself
lots of room to work Allows you to get the big picture of your overall trip
Give consideration to the many different factors that can affect your route of flight Terrain Airspace Checkpoints Etc.
How does this relate to the concepts of ADM???
Basic Process (Continued)
Plot your initial course and refine it as necessary
Use a plotter to measure your course in nautical miles ENSURE you are using the correct scale!
Your goal is to fly the course your drew on the chart Requires you to constantly maintain your
situational awareness Use wind correction as needed to maintain your
selected course
Practical Use One of the oldest forms of navigation
Used during the earliest days of aviation Easiest to use
You, Your map, and the World Often times the most enjoyable to use
You get to enjoy the view!
An example…
Putting the pieces together ADM often focuses on four main factors when
talking abut flight planning
P – Pilot
A – Aircraft
V – Environment
E – External Factors
The Pilot The one factor you have most control over:
YOU! Are you fit for the flight?
Eat?Sleep?Etc
Affects on flight planning/pilotage?
The Aircraft Is the aircraft Suitable for the flight being conducted?
Weight limits Structural limitations Equipment installed (instruments and the like)
More importantly, are YOU suitable to the airplane? Are you thoroughly familiar with the AFM/POH?Do you have the emergency procedures memorized? V Speeds?
Affects on flight planning/pilotage?
The Environment Offers the most variables of the four factors
Weather Terrain Airport Airspace Night vs. Day Visual Illusions
Affects on flight planning/pilotage?
External Pressures Anything external to the flight itself that
places more pressure on you to complete the flight Friend waiting for you Big event where you are going “Get-there-itus” and/or ego Eager to please, even with a reduction in safety
Affects on flight planning/pilotage?
Remember to DECIDE…D – Detect
E - Estimate
C - Choose
I - Identify
D - Do
E - Evaluate
Operational Pitfalls Scud Running
Get-There-Itis
Continuing VFR into IMC
Loss of SA
Flying outside the Envelope
