Landing Capability (Weather) You Need: Fuel Penalty Factor/endurance You Have

This document outlines the FOR-DEC method for structured decision making used in aviation. FOR-DEC is an acronym that describes the process of Facts, Options, Risk assessment, Decision, Execution, and Check. It lists the facts like landing distance and fuel needed that must be considered. The options like alternative airports are evaluated. The risks of each option are assessed for factors like weather and distance. A decision is made and communicated. The execution involves carrying out the decision. A check ensures the problem is resolved. FOR-DEC was developed by the German Aerospace Center to train pilots in crew resource management.
