Operations & SafetyQuestion 93 of 100
In the 3P model of aeronautical decision making (ADM), what does the remote pilot do during the 'Process' step?
a.Scan the operating area to detect hazards and gather information
b.Evaluate how the identified hazards affect the safety of the flight
c.Carry out the chosen course of action and review the result
d.Log the flight time and battery cycles after the aircraft lands
Explanation
The 3P model is Perceive, Process, Perform: Process is the middle step, where the pilot analyzes the hazards already perceived and judges their effect on the flight. Perceiving is the information-gathering step, and performing is acting on the decision and then re-evaluating. Recording flight time is recordkeeping, not part of the ADM model.
