You Decide
This is where your knowledge of Aviation Communication meets the real world!
Below you will find a scenario that places your team in the middle of a real
world problem and gives you and your team members specific roles
to play. You
and your team members must solve this problem by reviewing all the pertinent
information and making the best decision possible. You must follow the steps
in the decision-making process and you must be thorough in your work because
others are depending on you and your team to come up with a
decision that gives
the greatest benefits. These decisions are not easy and your
decision will not
please everyone. However, a well-reasoned and sound decision needs
to be made
and you and your team members will need to make that critical decision.
First, review the steps in the decision-making process. Print the
decision-making
process page including the matrix you will use to record the steps
you follow
in arriving at your decision. Next, review the problem scenario.
This explains
the problem that you are going to solve. It also provides you with a list of
resources you may use in solving the problem. Just as in real life, some of
these resources may be critical to your decision. Other resources
may be only
somewhat applicable. And some of the resources may not apply to the problem
at all. An important part of the decision-making process is what information
is relevant, and what is not!
After you have made and recorded your decision, discuss and compare your decision with others in your class. You will be given a chance to compare your decision-making skills with the experts who have made similar decisions to such a problem. Experts in the fields related to Aviation Communication reviewed the scenario and came up with what they believe to be the three best possible decisions. After you decide, check your decision-making skills with the experts!
