Aviation Do-Overs - To Err is Still Human

NASA ASRS CALLBACK Issue 529

CALLBACK 529, February 2024, Aviation Do-Overs (constantcontact.com)

Aviation safety has improved dramatically over time, and we are proficient at the discipline, but we still err. We practice all manner of risk-reward analysis and Crew Resource Management (CRM). We develop amazing skills to find, trap, and prevent mistakes and to mitigate the hazards, threats, and errors that do sneak by. And yet, from time to time, each of us makes a decision, accomplishes a procedure, or takes an action that is somehow not our best performance.

In the Fevruary 2024 Issue of CALLBACK, NASA looks at incidents in which operators likely have wished some actions or decisions were rescindable and could be done over. Examine the human and other contributing factors in each undesirable situation.
