The aviation industry has worked hard to create a culture of continued inquiry and skepticism in order to ensure predictable behavior and safe flying, and has achieved a nice record of decaying exponential to years without accidents.
19:07 - 28:03 (08:55)
Summary
The aviation industry has worked hard to create a culture of continued inquiry and skepticism in order to ensure predictable behavior and safe flying, and has achieved a nice record of decaying exponential to years without accidents. But there is still work to be done in understanding human-machine interactions and decision processes to continue improving safety.
