THE BIG LIE “THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE TRIP WAS THE DRIVE TO THE AIRPORT” J
GA FATALITIESPER MILE • 7 TIMES THAT OF AUTOMOBILES • 49 TIMES THAT OF AIRLINES • ON A PAR WITH MOTORCYCLES J
RISKS IN FLYING • SNEAKY • INSIDIOUS • OFTEN CATCH PILOTS BY SURPRISE J
RISKS IN FLYING HARD TO JUDGE: • PROBABILITY • CONSEQUENCES J
RISKS IN FLYING IF LEFT UNMANAGED, ARE UNACCEPTABLE M
GA RISK MANAGEMENT TEACHING AND PRACTICE ISFLAWED M
GA RISK MANAGEMENT TEACHING AND PRACTICE IS FLAWED • 85% OF ACCIDENTSARE CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN RISK MANAGEMENT • TRAINING FOCUSES ON SKILL M
WHEN STUDENTSLEAVE TRAINING THE ACCIDENT RATE JUMPS BY ALMOST 50% M
ACCIDENT RATE / 100,000 HRS. • STU TRAINING = 5.8 • NEW PVT PILOT = 8.55 M
HOW RISK MANAGEMENTIS TAUGHT • TELLING STORIES • PASSING ALONG RULES • MAKING UP SAYINGS M
HOW PILOTS BECOME “EXPERIENCED” • EXPOSING THEMSELVES TO RISK • EVALUATING THE RESULT J
IF THEY DON’T SCARE THEMSELVES • PLACE IT IN “ACCEPTABLE” CATEGORY • MAY HAVE JUST BEEN LUCKY J
THE MORE TIMES A PILOT GETS AWAY WITH A RISK THE MORE “ACCEPTABLE” THE RISK BECOMES J
IF THEY DO SCARE THEMSELVES THEY ADD THIS TO THE LIST OF THINGS THEY WON’T DO AGAIN J
IF THE PILOT DOESN’TRUN OUT OF LUCK THEY BECOME “EXPERIENCED” J
EXPERIENCE IS A HARD TEACHER • SHE GIVES THE TEST FIRST • THE LESSON COMES AFTERWARD J
MANY PILOTSAND THEIR PASSENGERSNEVER SURVIVE TOGET THE LESSON J
BUT EVEN A LONG LIST OFUNACCEPTABLE RISKS DOESN’T PREPARE PILOTS FOR UNANTICIPATED RISKS J
