Pilot Critical Decision Making skills
summary
Airline cockpit decision steps mapped to software incidents: a clear TDODAR sequence (Time, Diagnosis, Options, Decision, Assign, Review), concrete tools like paper QRH checklists and simulator practice, and metrics — the 787 runs >1,000 computers and 1.45 MW so failures are complex yet drills (engine-failure routines practiced hundreds of times) make responses automatic. Team sizes work best ~10–15, exercises run under 20 minutes, decisions are team-agreed not top-down, and formal review produces checklists that actually prevent repeat failures.
