Human Performance

2.5.7.2 Complacency

A typical example is where an experienced pilot believes that the particular

flight route, he has flown many times before can be completed without much

effort or mental strain.

Precisely because he “knows” how the trip will go, he is not observant /

attentive enough to observe the little extra detail that separates the current

situation from all the others, which can potentially create a dangerous

situation.

2.6 Flying and health (Menneskelig ydeevne 3 - 2
videoer)

Before we enter the world of flying, we are examined in detail.

This applies to physical health, and if there are any psychological notes in your

medical record, these are also taken into account when the AMC (Aviation
Medical Department) decides on the first issuance of a certificate.

Such medical approval indicates that
your health on the day of approval was

in order with regard to functioning as a

PPL/LAPL pilot.
