Although we consider ourselves rational, pilots are not immune to these biases. A recent paper by Nadri et al. (2024) calls for more cognitive bias training in pilots. Here we explore a few common cognitive biases that can influence decision-making in aviation and look and what we should be teaching on biases in CRM training.
