A MESSAGE FROM USAIG
RISK ASSESSMENT: YOU'VE GOTTA WANT IT
+
We make a staggering number of
decisions every day. Some seem
to just happen on autopilot, while
others with higher stakes earn
more scrutiny. For those weightier
calls, we actively work to fuse our
acquired experience with our current
knowledge and understanding of a
situation to figure out what's next;
go forth and do-or stop-or seek
more information before deciding. For something we're dealing
with almost constantly, there's a lot going on there. Help with the
more complex decisions we face seems like something we should
eagerly welcome.
Risk assessments are a common and vital part of aviation
activities everywhere. They're done pre-flight, pre-maintenance,
pre-change, post-incident, and in other contexts. There are
enough of them built into aviation processes that they can start
feeling a bit rote.
It's possible, over time, for a little ambivalence to creep in and
cause us to lose sight of that fundamental thing risk assessments
are meant to do-help us make smart, timely decisions in
complex situations.
More than innate talent, the thing I find most separates high
performers from others is their willingness to consistently embrace
2
the hard, repetitive, unglamorous, and exacting preparatory
aspects of their craft. They stay motivated, knowing the effort they
put in will make the difference in their outcomes. Approaching
those tasks with passion rather than disdain is the high performer's
" secret sauce " behind their ability to excel.
The return on effort is markedly magnified when a task is
approached like it will make the difference between success and
failure-or possibly life and death. Do you approach your risk
assessments that way? You should.
Stay well, fly smart, and fly safe.
