Video description, December 6, 1999
Pilot error is a term that most of us dread. We all occasionally make mistakes when we fly and although most of those have happy endings, we question why we made the wrong decision. Somehow our head was "up and locked" and we forgot procedures or got overwhelmed with too many tasks. Accident reports abound with news that the pilot had been on duty far too long, or was sick or just flew into the mountain. Why? What happens to our brain in situations like these? How come we lose it when the going gets tough? Those of us who have been trained as professional pilots have the advantage of experiencing, in the simulator, most of the unexpected problems that arise. We have had emergency procedures drilled into us and yet we still may forget the sequence when we're tired or stressed out. Physical condition plays a big part in our ability to handle tough situation, but it can also affect a VFR pilot's simple decision to go around or to land. This training video,Human Factors and Pilot Error, filmed at an FAA safety seminar, is the final step in flight training. It gives us reasons why pilots make mistakes even though they are proficient in handling the aircraft. Diet and lifestyle can determine how well you fly at a particular time. Maintaining proficiency as a pilot depends a lot on how your brain functions and how you react to extraneous factors such as environmental toxins and food substances. This video explains simple procedures each pilot can take to reduce the hazards of pilot error. Within its pages you will learn about specific hazards to pilots such as stimulants, dehydration, jet lag, chemical exposure, electromagnetic frequencies, brain neurotransmitter malfunction and positive ions. Nina Anderson ATP, author of The Backseat Flyer, has been a pilot for 30 years and currently runs seminars to pilots on the physiology behind pilot error. A training manual, Eliminating Pilot Error, is available as a teaching aid used in conjunction with the video.
