PDSA/PDCA are applied outside of combat (if we're comparing it to OODA) with training, exercise, and study. Learn what the aircraft can do and develop a new maneuver, practice the maneuver until it becomes automatic, then in combat with the OODA loop (tightened by training and practice) you apply the maneuver when it's appropriate to overcome your opponent. PDSA/PDCA can improve the OODA loop because it can inform how you train, but the OODA loop is not PDSA/PDCA.
