A good point from a ‘desperate’ Glue Ball by not worrying in advance.
However I hope that he and others do think about potential error chains in advance.
Good simulation (equipment and instructor) can help develop resistance to the pressures that lead to errors, but often the equipment is lacking, the instructor limited in scope (knowledge of incidents or imagination), or insufficient time due to the constraints of the regulatory hoops that have to be jumped through every 6 months.
Has anyone got any good ideas / examples of how to generate the realistic pressure of daily operation; time constraint, press-on-itis? Like the cabin evacuation trials where payment is made to the first ones out, will sufficient incentive be given by an early finish in the simulator (with free beer) where the crew completes the exercise quickly?
