Risk Perception and Risk Tolerance in Aircraft Pilots

[摘要] Poor pilot decision-making has been identified as a factor in a large percentage of fatal aviation accidents. Risk perception and risk tolerance are two factors that can significantly impact pilot decision-making. Inaccurate risk perception can lead pilots to ignore or misinterpret external cues that demand immediate and effective decisions to avoid hazards. High risk tolerance can lead pilots to choose courses of action that unnecessarily expose them to hazards and increased likelihood of accident.
