Jolie Lucas presents On Second Thought, an Avemco-sponsored safety program grounded in human factors and cognitive science. It examines how perception, workload, expectation and social pressure shape decisions across cockpits, control rooms, hangars and right seats.
On Second Thought
Sponsored by Avemco, On Second Thought is a one-hour aviation safety presentation that goes beyond checklists and procedures to examine how aviators across the system think, decide, and adapt under real-world conditions. Grounded in human factors and cognitive science, the program explores how perception, workload, expectation, and subtle social pressures shape decisions—across cockpits, control rooms, hangars, flight-lines, and right seats.
Designed for pilots, aviation maintenance technicians, air traffic controllers, flight line personnel, operators, and right-seat companions, the presentation connects training to lived experience and shows how everyday human decisions interact across roles. Attendees can earn FAA WINGS Program credit while engaging in a thoughtful, safety-driven conversation that encourages lifelong learning and safer outcomes.
