Thanks for a great seminar! In pre-retirement I was the safety expert for an aerospace company making rockets and explosives. I tried very much to understand why good employees were occasionally tempted to do things known to be potentially unsafe. In my case the consequences of being wrong were immediate as well as catastrophic! My point in saying all of this is to share that our emergent understanding of "the reasons why" closely parallels yours, and that's not hard to believe, after all...people are people!!!
Great presentation Richard. I'm happy to see us looking into this more. Every time I see an accident or an incident that involves apparent human error, 99% of which are pilots with much more experience than I have, it drives home the fact that it can and will happen to me if I don't take positive action to be safe. I have a few personal rules and minimums that I've developed to help me not push beyond what I believe to be safe in the calm quiet of my living room. I think some more practical guidance in this area would be helpful.
Excellent job sir. I attended this seminar and as always gleaned some extremely valuable information from it. You may recall I spoke to you briefly after the seminar about how I also incorporate human cognitive dissonance as well as confirmation bias into decision making and the challenges associated with overcoming it. Thanks you and to all at ASF.
Great presentation. When i read the book by Daniel Kahneman, i felt how true the concepts expressed in the book related to aviation decision making. Having heard this, i feel very reassured.
This is why I make the plan b,c,d alternates on the ground before I go; wx wrong,or something out of nowhere, manditilory land and re assess situation s....
What would SOPs be for us then. Flying GA. Basically another check list right? With our minimums. I can't wrap my head around what that should look like. Anyone have hard examples please.
There is another AOPA safety presentation "Top 10 Things Pilots Should Know" in which the speaker talks about setting the personal minimums (not just loose items in your head, but hard and fast list written down for yourself,) which I think is one thing we can do to help ourselves. For example, one can make a rule for themselves not to fly if the cross-wind component is at the aircraft's max certified capability, or not to take friends and loved ones flying when one hasn't flown the same route at least 3 times in recent weeks. Anyway, my take-away from all this is that we have to set additional rules for ourselves based on our own strengths, weaknesses and limitations, and most importantly have the discipline to follow it. The mental factors Richard speaks about in this presentation is really worth a lot of thoughts when we evaluate ourselves.

Richard! Just excellent! You really synthesized the core elements of these 3 texts and explained them with great examples. Great presentation.

What is the book called?
@@venutoa Thinking Fast and Slow.
This should be a required class for GA period❤
This is tough to watch now.
1:35 every now and then John McEnroe would hit the ball out of the court or straight into the net ...hard to be perfect every time.

1:35 Must have some room for error build into flying procedures ...
