Illustration: VAI/Mark Bennett VAI Webinar, Feb. 10: What Would You Have Done? Sharpening Your ADM Skills There’s rarely one “correct” answer in aviation, but there’s always a responsible one. If it can happen to another pilot, it can happen to you. That’s why studying helicopter incidents and accidents is an excellent way to sharpen your aviation decision-making (ADM) skills. In our next VAI Webinar, Feb. 10, 2026, at 1:00 pm eastern (UTC-5), utility and helicopter air ambulance pilot and VAI ambassador Jessica Meiris will engage the audience in real-world ADM using several submissions pulled from the FAA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System. Together with webinar participants, she’ll explore multiple ways to mitigate risk, highlight the complexity of operational choices, and reinforce how sound ADM isn’t just an acronym, it’s a mindset. In aviation, the right decision can make all the difference. There’s rarely one “correct” answer, but there’s always a responsible one. So, during the presentation, we’ll ask attendees, “What would you have done?” Our presenter: • Jessica Meiris, Air Ambulance Pilot, Reach Air Medical Services. Register today for this free, one-hour webinar, Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 1 pm eastern (UTC-5), to learn about the complexities of operational choices and honing your ADM skills to mitigate risk in aviation operations.
