Date and Time:
Tuesday, September 29, 2020, starting at 19:00 Pacific Daylight Time (20:00 MDT; 21:00 CDT; 22:00 EDT; 16:00 HST; 18:00 AKDT; 19:00 Arizona; Wednesday, September 30, 2020 02:00 GMT)

Brief Description:
Murphy's law is wrong. What can go wrong usually doesn't and the outcome is favorable. The problem is that this causes us to conclude that our actions must had been correct, since the outcome was good. This rationalization is the beginning of the process where a new normal is established that accepts shortcuts to safety and standard operating practices.
This webinar will discuss famous examples of this happening, how human factors and external pressures combine to, in time, create a new norm. We will discuss how common pilot thinking is a contributing factor. Finally, we will present some countermeasures.
Normalization of deviation is a large factor in mishaps so expect an eye-opening discussion where you can reflect on your own habits and practices.
