Pilot Critical Decision Making skills
summary
Explains a concrete decision routine used in cockpits: the TDODAR framework (Time, Diagnose, Options, Decide, Assign, Review), practiced in full-motion simulators and with paper quick-reference checklists. Gives numbers: ~220 onboard computers, 150 passengers in the live exercise, a slot due in 20 minutes cut to 10, a baggage‑belt failure quoted as 30 minutes but likely two hours. Uses tools like the ACARS message and team comms, insists to start stopwatch, assign short tasks, communicate outcomes, then write the post‑flight review.
