In aerospace, we’ve spent decades engineering for everything—redundancy, automation, procedural discipline. But the human element remains the most variable and arguably the most vulnerable. One risk that rarely gets front-and-

In aerospace, performance isn’t just about how an aircraft flies—it’s about how an organization leads.

“If you think of safety as a stew, the culture is the broth in which the solid ingredients simmer. If the broth is rancid, the stew will be spoiled.” — Dr. Steven Simon

Global Safety Challenges: How Do We Speak the Same Language? Safety doesn’t start with systems. It begins with understanding.

At the 70th Business Aviation Safety Summit (BASS), the aerospace community faced a brutal truth: even as traditional accident rates decline, mental health-related risks are rising. From pilot suicide to chronic burnout, the dangers we don’t talk about may be the ones hurting us most.

At WYVERN, our vision is clear: Every aerospace organization has a healthy safety culture. Why? Because culture is the invisible force that shapes every decision, every action, and every outcome in aerospace. It influences how teams communicate under

The most devastating failures in aerospace aren’t always mechanical—they’re cognitive. Human biases shape how we interpret data, make decisions, and react to anomalies. With more than 180 identified cognitive biases influencing human

In aerospace, we engineer redundancies, automate safeguards, and systematize risk management. Yet, one of the most persistent threats to safety doesn’t come from hardware or software—it comes from human cognition.

To do that, you need more than just data—you need insight. You need systems that don’t just track events but connect the dots between what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what to do about it.

Building on our understanding of psychological safety, leaders need to implement practical strategies that nurture this environment within their teams. Research by Timothy R. Clark outlines the Four Stages of Psychological Safety, which serve as a
