When Pressure is Personal! A Second Look at Hazardous Attitudes

For years, flight instructors have been talking about and training new pilots on something called hazardous attitudes. These dangerous decision-making attitudes not only affect safe professional pilots but also non-pilot crew members trained in good CRM/AMRM?. At AMTC 2018, Ken discussed how these self-induced pressures to fly affect the entire crew leading to an atmosphere in the aircraft that may have caused several well-known accidents/incidents? Live Polling during that session showed the 2 most hazardous attitudes by all attendants were “Resignation” and “Get-home-it is/Press-on-itis”. Followed closely by “Complacency”. Ken has continued looking at how personality conflicts, Hazardous Attitudes, and the Stress Effect® can easily lead to the need to just get along and not speak up at crucial moments. Come see what the antidote to these hazardous attitudes is, and when/how crew members should intervene, so we all come home safely.
