This airline training slide explains ‘active monitoring’ – visualize, act, compare. You must look for something, not just at something:
It’s easy to say we should be mentally flying the aeroplane, but it’s also kind of a cop out. So it’s a nice addition to have some concrete ideas on how to actually do it.
Unfortunately, we all seem to look at something rather than to look for something from time to time. This is actually something within ourself, by fare means. I think that checklists can do a lot for us. Because we will face it sooner or later that our job is to be the best robot.
Nice blog by the way!
All the best,
Thanks for the kind words. See you in the sky . . .
