Helicopters are as unique as the people who own them, fly them and work on them. Mistakes in design, production, operation or maintenance can create immediate consequences. Owners, operators and maintainers must be vigilant to prevent accidents or even incidents. The Helicopter Association International (HAI) has started a campaign to encourage pilots to just land the damn bird if anything creates uncertainty in safe operations. Pilots can refuse to fly an aircraft or can land the aircraft whenever there is doubt about continued safe flight and landing.

Complacency has been identified as one of the top causes for safety issues and quality escapes. Since we recognize that, why does it remain the top of the list? For one thing, we “accidentally on purpose” keep it there because we are complacent on complacency. I will describe the psychological reasons for this phenomenon. It will be counter-intuitive and run in the face of traditional lines of thinking. First is a statement of clarity: complacency is not a cause.

Take your friends or family.
