An aviation safety presentation that goes beyond checklists and procedures to examine how aviators across the system think, decide, and adapt under real-world conditions. Grounded in human factors and cognitive science, the program explores how perception, workload, expectation, and subtle social pressures shape decisions across cockpits, control rooms, hangars, flightlines, and right seats. Designed for pilots, aviation maintenance technicians, air traffic controllers, flightline personnel, operators, and right-seat companions, the presentation connects training to lived experience and shows how everyday human decisions interact across roles. Attendees can earn FAA WINGS program credit, take part in a thoughtful, safety-driven conversation, and be eligible for door prizes generously provided by leading aviation companies, including King Schools, Flying Eyes, Lightspeed Aviation, METARmaps, LIFT Aviation, Avemco Insurance, and aviation legend Barry Schiff.
