The basis of these points have been with the industry for some time, but perhaps they have not been heeded:-
Errors in Aviation Decision Making.
Pilots either don’t understand the situation, or if understood chose an inappropriate course of action.
Hopefully this unfortunate accident will reinvigorate the need to further understand and address many human performance issues in awareness and decision making, and generate an impetus for change.
The task would be to improve skills of situation assessment and judgement, not only for the pilots, but also operators, designers, and regulators.
The aim – perfection, may be unattainable; but achievement of consistent high standards of behaviour which together with safety barriers should help the industry maintain and improve a very good safety record.
The activity is that of change – in the way we think about safety, the role of the human, automation, training, and regulation. With change there is risk, these have to be managed and balanced with cost.
