01/12/2022SafetyIntroduction.
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) is the process by which aviation personnel makes decisions in order to deal with the complex situations they encounter in an effective manner. Aeronautical decision making is a method of the mental process used by pilots in order to continually decide on the best course of action to take in a given set of circumstances. ADM is a practical approach to mitigating risks, which is a crucial pillar (component) of the Safety Management System (SMS).
ADM focuses on the factors influencing the ability of the pilot to make effective choices. Understanding the Aeronautical Decision Making process provides a pilot with the basis for building skills for safe and efficient ADM.
Aeronautical Decision Making Six-Steps
The Pilot’s Aeronautical Decision Making Process is a powerful, six-step administrative skill a pilot must perform in order to maximize the chances for success in coping with unexpected or critical events. These steps are:
Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight:
Pilots need to be in a good physical and mental condition to fly safely. This includes having the right attitude, as this can affect the quality of decisions made while flying. There are five hazardous attitudes that can interfere with making sound decisions and exercising authority properly. These five hazardous attitudes are anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation.
Learning behavior modification techniques
Pilots can effectively counter the five hazardous attitudes by redirecting the hazardous attitude so that they can take corrective actions.
The first step in eliminating dangerous thoughts is recognizing them. After recognizing a thought as hazardous, the pilot should label it as such and then state the corresponding antidote. It’s better to memorize antidotes for each of the hazardous attitudes, so they automatically come to mind when needed.
Learning how to recognize and cope with stress
Stress typically impedes a pilot’s decision-making, leading to unsafe situations. Pilot error causes 50% to 90% of airline crashes.
A pilot’s risk of making a mistake on the flight deck can rise as a result of stressors. Stopping, reflecting, and analyzing before making a decision is essential for stress management. Before making rash judgments, there is usually time to think them over.
There are several ways to deal with the accumulation of life’s stresses and strains:
Addressing the physical causes of stress. For example, making sure you get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. Some of the most prominent sources of stress include hunger and fatigue, both of which have well-known effects.
Swimming helps the nervous system get back into balance, and climbing stairs is a great way to get rid of extra toxins in the body. Usually, during layovers, both of these activities can be done in hotels, removing any lingering effects of stress before the subsequent flight.
Constant Professional Development. Training guarantees proficiency and up-to-date knowledge of all routine and emergency operating procedures.
Social Interaction. It’s not a good idea to let personal issues and concerns fester. It’s crucial to communicate your issues and concerns. Doing so offers some relief because other people might be able to provide support and guidance.
Workload. Refrain from accepting too many obligations, both professional and personal, that could lead to work overload. When asked to complete too many tasks, it’s crucial to learn how to say “no.”
Developing risk assessment skills for Effective Aeronautical Decision Making
The term “risk management,” is the process of identifying hazards and deciding what action to take to control and minimize those risks to a level considered acceptable by a regulatory agency. Click here to learn more about the Flight Risk Assessment Tool in AVISAV QSMS Software. AVISAV QSMS – FRAT Tool is specially designed to make risk assessment easier and more efficient.
As a pilot, you have to develop a sense of many of the possible risks. That may lead to poor decisions or outcomes while on an airplane. Because each flight has a certain degree of risk. It is crucial for pilots to be able to distinguish, ahead of time, a flight with a lower level of risk from one with a higher one then set up an inspection process and establish a strategy for mitigating risk. For example, by applying IMSAFE checklist. Also, by being mindful of the 5 dangerous attitudes that should be avoided. Pilots can make the first pass toward making the best choice during every Aeronautical Decision Making situation.
Using all resources
The pilot needs to work through the gathered information. Evaluate the effect it has on the safety of the flight, and decide the best course of action.
Resource Use: To make sound decisions in flight operations, a pilot should be mindful of resources found in the cockpit as well as those found outside it. To exercise responsibility effectively and make efficient decisions regarding flight outcomes, the pilot should become aware of human limitations.
Evaluating the effectiveness of one’s Aeronautical Decision Making skills
Excellent control of an aircraft and knowledge of it would be of little use if another engine failed following the poor decision by a pilot to divert to a non-flying airfield.
Do not continue under conditions outside of your capabilities. Nor with a lack of information that would have allowed for good decisions about this flight (such as an inadequate weather briefing).
Work on establishing a healthy mindset for reasonable decision-making. This will assist your decision-making process as well as execute optimal decisions within the aircraft’s operational limitations.
Finally, this model allows a pilot to enhance his/her aviation decision-making skills by applying a framework to each given situation. This cycle-based model allows a pilot to make a critical decision, then execute the sequence of events in order to achieve the best resolution.

25/11/2022SafetyRoot Cause Analysis (RCA) in Aviation
We do not see our hand in what happens, and so we call certain events melancholy accidents…― Stanley Cavell
Another milestone in your Journey to achieve safety compliance
Simple step-by-step approach.
The Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in aviation accidents is a process that identifies the reasons for an aircraft accident. The aviation industry is constantly evolving, and so are the methods we use to analyze accidents. In recent years, accident analysis has become increasingly reliant on data from past accidents. As a result, this database can help identify common errors and causes of aviation accidents.
Understanding RCA in aviation accidents starts with identifying the steps that led to the accident. Backward reasoning method determines the causes of accidents. This means that investigators first look for reasons that may have led to the accident. After that, they work their way backward to find the step that caused the problem.
Additionally, RCA is a very important maturity indicator for implementing Safety Management System (SMS).
Backward reasoning.
The principle behind backward reasoning is to look for the cause that led to the accident. Then, work backward to find the step that caused the problem. In other words, this involves using a traceability matrix. You can implement this by asking questions such as, “What happened?”, ” Who was affected?”, and “What were the circumstances?”
Benefits of Root Cause Analysis In Aviation Accidents
The purpose of a RCA is to identify and correct the root cause of a problem in order to prevent future occurrences. Corrective action is the process of taking the necessary steps to correct the root cause of a problem. RCA is a valuable tool that can help aviation organizations prevent future occurrences.
We also use the Effective Problem-Solving Methodology to conduct a RCA. Effective problem-solving is the process of solving problems logically and effectively.
The time required to complete the RCA in aviation accidents can be elaborate, as it is important to identify all of the factors that led to the accident.
Outcomes of a Root Cause Analysis
The outcomes of a RCA can be unpredictable, but some common outcomes include preventing future accidents, correcting errors, and improving safety.
By conducting a root-cause analysis and risk mitigation techniques, such as improved safety procedures and better systems, we can greatly reduce accidents.
Also, hindsight is a valuable tool in RCA, as it can help identify factors that were not previously known. Diagrams such as a Venn diagram illustrate the relationships between the various factors that may have led to the accident.
RCA can further identify and categorize the factors that may have led to the accident.
Aviation accidents and human factors analysis.
Aviation accidents are often the result of a number of causes and contributing factors, many of which have a human dimension to them. In some cases, human error is a factor in as high as 70% of aircraft accidents. Hence, the challenge for accident investigators is how best to identify and mitigate the causal sequence of events leading up to an accident.
Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is a general framework for human error originally developed and tested within the USA military. This framework has been extended and adapted to analyse the underlying human factors causes in accidents involving aircraft and aviation maintenance and operations. HFACS framework provides safety professionals with a theoretical tool for identifying and classifying human errors in aviation mishaps.
The (HFACS) system focuses on both latent and active failures and their interrelationships, thereby facilitating the identification of the underlying causes of human error.
Profound root cause analysis approaches.
The most common approach is the five whys, which asks why five times. Other approaches include the Pareto principle and the fishbone diagram.
Root-cause analysis by using Bowtie analysis
Root-cause analysis focuses on identifying the root cause of the accident in a visual way.
The root main event markers are events or circumstances that associates with an accident. On the other hand, risk controls are measures that reduce the risk of an accident.
The Bowtie diagram shows the relationships among sources of hazards, risks, controls, escalation factors, events, and impacts. In addition to centralizing risk management activities for planning, coordination, and monitoring, a major benefit of the Bowtie tool is the visual depiction that emerges from the Bowtie framework of a relationship between causes, events, impacts, and controls for a hazard.
Tips For Root Cause Analysis In Aviation Accidents
We have many techniques for root-cause analysis and corrective action.
Firstly, creating a road map to show how the process works and conducting interviews with employees to find out why incidents occur.
Secondly, conduct a “Design” problem analysis by looking for ways to simplify the SOPs and identifying any steps that are redundant that we can eliminate in order to decrease the workload.
Thirdly, tailor corrective actions to ensure their effectiveness, you should tailor them to the specific problem and its urgency.
Fourth, effective management controls and recommendations must be in place to prevent the problem from occurring in the future.
Fifth, assess the consequent risks to determine how to mitigate them.
Sixth, emergency preparedness and response plan must be ready to minimize the impact of a problem if it does occur.
Seventh, develop a risk matrix and use analysis tools to identify the specific root causes of the problem.
Eighth, you can find more details about risk management and RCA resources discussing the Four Pillars of SMS.
