Title:
Combating Task Saturation and Fixing Fixation
Topic:
Understanding and methods for mitigating task-saturation and task-fixation.
Speaker(s):
Dorothy Schick
Brief Description:
Task-saturation and its cousin Task-fixation. One is caused by having too much to do without enough time the other is telescoping your attention, sometimes to the exclusion of flying the airplane. Both happen to every pilot at all levels, from student to ATP. Some examples are: making a rapid descent to a final approach fix leaving little time to set up radios or the approach, getting too wrapped up on setting up your navigation systems and missing an assigned altitude, focusing too long on the MFD or GPS while missing ATC communications, or missing an item in your checklist because ATC interrupts your flow with a call.
We'll give you methods to help avoid and deal with these psychological traps.
