ADM Aeronautical Decision Making ADM refers to the prescribed process by which pilots can determine the best source of action in response to a given set of circumstances. What this simply means is that the wind speed and/or direction is rapidly changing at a relatively low altitude.

Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. When an aircraft encounters horizontal wind shear, it could be blown off centerline. Trying to make large corrections to return to the centerline is dangerous, so it’s best to go around.

Thunderstorms, wind shear, severe icing, thick fog, strong crosswinds, and density altitude producing a negative climb rate are all factors that absolutely must be considered in the context of our ability to fly. On Deciding Aeronautical decision-making, or ADM, is a fashionable buzz phrase that is, in reality, as old as flight itself.
