This "incident" was less than 4 seconds away from a potential disaster. What is the scariest element for me is the lack of a real solution to the insidious effects of confirmation bias... the Lear pilot just kind of "dreamed" he was cleared for takeoff at a busy international airport where landings were on a crossing runway. So many similarities to the JFK incident where the AA crew simply believed they were assigned 31L for takeoff despite the tapes. What's the solution for confirmation bias? Do instructions and clearances need to be visual as well as aural with some type of text system? If so, it had better work better than my talk to text apps!
