ADM emphasizes proactive risk management in the cockpit. It starts with identifying potential hazards in the flight environment—weather, terrain, aircraft systems, and human factors. Once hazards are known, you assess the level of risk by weighing how severe a potential outcome could be and how likely it is. With that understanding, you decide on actions to reduce or control the risk and then implement those controls, while continuously monitoring the situation as conditions change. This approach keeps you ahead of problems rather than reacting after they occur, and it adapts to new information as the flight progresses. The other approaches fall short because they rely on gut feeling without systematic hazard recognition, focus only on what happens after an incident, or require you to follow a fixed script when conditions demand flexible, context‑driven decisions.
