Fantastic presentation. All around, start to finish, this was excellent. I especially liked the parts about cognitive biases, continuation biases, cognitive ease and priming. The joke about Blue Angles vs Thunderbirds went over peoples heads though. Haha.
Excellent presentation. Coming from Military Aviation (VMFA - F-4/F-18), with zero GA experience before or after, the video's of accident/incident analysis are riveting. So many friends lost in aviation accidents in the 80's, most of which were classified as pilot error. After a career in Mfg Safety, people are people, all make mistakes and errors. We (Safety Experts) make up procedures and rules in an attempt to control the environment and the decision making, but people are adaptable and inevitably find work arounds. Thank you for the discussion!!
So basically we need standard operating procedures for GA. I do not see much beyond the preflight inspection being protocolized. Why are there no checklists for all of the visual and weather conditions etc that killed the people in this presentation? How can you operationalize the thoughts of this talk for the average GA pilot? Perhaps something needs to be put into Foreflight or similar for those inclined to complete the risk management checklist before each flight. Enjoyed the presentation. Keep up the good work.
G, day from Sydney, Australia Thank you for the presentation. I once worked with a SOP system. I now understand why. I was aware of influences on humans, effecting decision-making process. "This is a presentation I will view again". 🌏🇭🇲
At 15:20 you talk about routine tasks never being the same. So true and reminiscent of Heraclitus comment, "You can never stand in the same river twice." The river is constantly changing. Point being, landing mechanics may be roughly the same, but other factors such as environment are very likely not going to be.
What's missing here is discussion about the innocent GA passengers (lambs) ending up dead (being led to the slaughter) without anyone forcing them to see risks associated with an intended flight. I think the insurance industry would do well for all concerned to implement raised premiums in risky situations and forced risk assessment provided to potential passengers. At least the "lambs" would have some foundation for deciding to stay on the ground. Also, the fatal accident statistics should include data on the number of fatalities (including the number of "lambs") rather than just the number of events.
The biggest factor in improving single piston GA lately, is that advanced avionics upgrades are becoming much more affordable and that is reducing cognitive load, to the benefit of overall safety.
@@homomorphic Correct, but not all pilots fly IFR. I wonder how many fly from VFR into IMC (a big killer of pilots) while “enjoying” their colorful displays
The "testosterone argument" (show the ladies what good pilot i am) may be included in points 2. and 3. of the red list (end of the video), but i think it's worth put it as a point for itself.

I love listening to this. Thank you Richard McSpadden. This is worth getting my students in a room and making them listen.
"Thinking fast and slow" by Dr. Kahneman is an excellent book. I was delighted to find this video applying the material to aviation. Thanks Richard!!

The main resource that we must manage pilots is the brain and for that we must know it well. I like the presentation, thank you very much.

"Al Haig of the brain" - love it!
Recommend this to every pilot. Great presentation. Thanks!!

Thank you for this great presentation. I just wish that there was an explanation next to the thumbs down. 2 people didn't like it, I just wonder why.
I am wondering if Richard agrees with the statement "You can never prove you prevented an accident."
Thanks. I’m in a class by myself. My bad decisions have roots in DUMB decisions...
Does Richard give fashion advice?

You may be right, but I see pilots spending more time looking at their colorful avionics than looking outside
@@jMoik if flying in IMC that would be the SOP :-)

Good pilots do NOT make bad decisions. That's why they are good pilots. BAD pilots make bad decisions.
What a silly comment. Why did you spend your time watching this if that was all you could take from it?
