The day started with a fantastic hike. Although the weather didn’t cooperate, things cleared up on the way down. After a great lunch afternoon lectures commenced. I was Fascinated to learn about the topic of human factor engineering. This may be an area of interest I may explore in the future. l would be very interested in developing ways to reduce harm by utilizing properly designed tools. The last topic of the day was an emotionally charged story which evoked not only some personal stories but also controversial dialogue. The important point I took away from the discussion is that these events can happen anywhere and to anyone. During my training as a pilot, l learned an important lesson which I try to recall with every flight: complacency kills.
