What is the correct sequence of steps in the FAA's DECIDE model for aeronautical decision-making?
Why →
The DECIDE model: Detect (recognize a change or problem), Estimate (assess urgency), Choose (select a desired outcome/goal), Identify (list possible actions), Do (implement the chosen action), Evaluate (assess whether the action resolved the problem. Repeat if needed). The final Evaluate step creates a continuous loop.The trap →
"Define/Evaluate/Consider/Implement/Determine/Execute" and other variations use similar-sounding but non-standard words. The FAA's exact model is D-E-C-I-D-E with six specific defined steps in that sequence.SOURCE → PHAK Chapter 2, Aeronautical Decision-MakingCHECKED APR 21ACS V.C.K1MED
