Shold that not be DORDAR?

The R being Risk / Benefit Analysis.

Wasn't this asked in Techlog recently? There were plenty more responses there.

The (main) problem with DO(R)DAR is that lots of people need help completing the 'diagnose' element...

The above posts give good guidance, however a Pilot should also be aware of the following.
" A crew is expected to perform to the best of their ability when a problem occurs, either known or unknown. In the unknown case the crew have to attempt to control the aircraft flight path so that they have time to solve the problem."
