- The DECIDE model is a six-step framework for systematic Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM).

- The steps are: Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, and Evaluate.

- Exam questions will test your ability to apply the correct step to a given in-flight scenario, not just recite the acronym.

- A common exam trap is confusing "Choose a desirable outcome" (the goal) with "Identify actions" (the specific steps to reach the goal).

- The DECIDE model is the FAA's preferred structured approach over impulsive or "gut" reactions during emergencies like lost links or sudden weather changes.
