WYVERN

The Organizational Accident
2021-04-07 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | WYVERN Online
While a large percentage of aviation accidents are the result of the all-too-frequent Human Error, you needn’t dig too much deeper to find Organizational influences that played a huge role in allowing the accident to occur. In this week’s session, we will review an actual accident event and reveal how easy it is to lose sight of the power the organization plays leading up to an accident. Moderating the conversation will be Tom Huff, Aviation Safety Officer for Gulfstream Aerospace.

CRM Training Course - Automation Management
2021-04-08 09:00 - 15:00
Effective CRM has prevented many accidents and saved lives in the aviation industry for decades. WYVERN’s CRM training is enhanced with contemporary techniques to improve the learner’s experience and ensure transfer of critical skills.
The Need for CRM Training
Investigators conclude that more than 70 percent of aviation incidents and accidents involve human error. NASA found that the majority of crew errors consist of failures in leadership, team coordination and decision-making. CRM is a skill that can be developed where a person uses all available resources (information, equipment and people) to achieve a desired outcome. CRM is the process to identify threats and take appropriate action to mitigate the associated risks. Using CRM, aviation professionals can better manage errors, improve morale, and enhance operational effectiveness.
Airline safety studies reveal that 98 percent of all flights face an average of four threats per flight. These same studies show that errors were observed on 82 percent of all flights with an average of 2.8 per flight. However, with effective CRM, the majority of errors were well-managed and inconsequential.
The ICAO requires CRM programs for all member countries and is promulgated throughout every airline company in each of the 193 ICAO member states around the world. The U.S. Air Force, among other organizations, uses CRM for maintenance professionals (aka MRM) to boost communication effectiveness and safety culture in aircraft maintenance organizations.

2021-04-21 13:00 - 14:00
Human error accounts for 80% of accidents. To solve this problem, we must analyze human factors in a more granular level. Cognitive biases impact flight deck safety and organizational safety culture. Captain Kimberly Perkins shares her research with Captain Max Grover as they take a deep dive into types of biases, human factors and how they impact your Safety Management System.

WYVERN Wednesday Webinar Celebrates 50!
2021-04-28 13:00 - 14:00
As we celebrate the delivery of our 50th WYVERN Wednesday Webinar, and reflect on the year that has been, we are very grateful to all the presenters who have delivered such meaningful content. But we are most grateful to all those who make our Wednesday visits a regular stop every week, and hopefully hear something that will bring about a significant and positive change, or at least think a little differently.

In this 50th edition, frequent co-moderator Tom Huff and I ponder key safety topics and NTSB’s Most Wanted and take a “year-in-review” look from the flight deck of the WYVERN Wednesday Webinar Series, and how we might continue to make good progress.

Please join us to share your thoughts, as you have so graciously done all year.
