ADM & Risk Management
-
The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) contends that many general aviation (GA) accidents stem from inadequate Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) and resource management skills. This fact sheet will discuss what ADM is and how the 3-P Model can help you integrate ADM principles into your flying. We also review the many benefits of Flight Risk Assessment Tools (FRATs).

This leaflet forms part of a series of European Helicopter Safety Team (EHEST) safety leaflets and publications aimed at improving safety by sharing good practices. The aim of this leaflet is to improve the safety of helicopter training by:
• Increasing the awareness in the training community about helicopter accidents in general and training related accident in particular
• Increasing the awareness in the training community about training related Intervention Recommendations
• Providing the training community with a selection of tools and methods
• Providing a practical example of risk assessment in training
• Assisting the instructors and improving the safety education of trainees in a training context

Given that every flight carries some degree of risk, it's vital for pilots to distinguish beforehand between low-risk and high-risk flights, establish a review process, and formulate strategies for risk mitigation. The FAA Safety Team's FRAT tool, like many other FRATs, produces a score that will fall within one of three risk categories: Green (low), yellow (medium), and red (high).

More than 17% of all general aviation accidents are “controlled flight into terrain” (CFIT) accidents. In CFIT accidents, the aircraft is in proper working order, but it's commonly pilot error, such as poor planning and loss of situational awareness, that leads to a CFIT accident. Take a look at this video for strategies you can use to help keep you from flying into terrain.
