Why does the DECIDE model end with Evaluate rather than stopping after the chosen action is carried out?
- A.Evaluation is required paperwork for every flight
- B.Because the pilot must check whether the action worked and be ready to decide again if it did not
- C.Because the model only applies to emergencies with injuries
Correct answer
B. Because the pilot must check whether the action worked and be ready to decide again if it did not
Why
Conditions keep changing, so a decision is only good if its result is checked. Evaluation feeds back into detecting the next change, making DECIDE a continuous loop rather than a one-time event.
