Pilot Decision Management
summary
A Boeing 787 pilot explains the concrete TDODAR decision framework—Time, Diagnose, Options, Decide, Assign, Review—and demonstrates it with specifics: over a thousand onboard computers, 1.5 MW electrical capacity, double‑figure lightning strikes, bird‑strike scenarios with <30 seconds to act, and routine six‑monthly simulator rehearsals. The talk shows how crews start a stopwatch, force open questions to diagnose failures, list and cull options, assign short tasks and then review outcomes; real incidents (engine events, medicals, missed baggage) are resolved using the method.
