Plan Continuation Bias
[sc:Top-of-Post ]
I penned an article for General Aviation News this week about a Human Factors condition known as Plan Continuation Bias, we know it as “get-there-itis.”
I thought folks that come here would enjoy it as well.
Without giving it away, I will say that this human condition is in all of us and I have yet to find any documents that offer any countermeasures. In the article linked above, I take a stab at some commonsense techniques to avoid falling into the trap of the old “get-home-itis” syndrome.
So if you are interested, I encourage you to jump over to GA News and check it out. If you have thoughts or if you like it (or hate it), please leave a comment over there or here.

This is such a fundamental problem; I don’t think it can ever be solved. But increased awareness will help.
Right on Mike! Hope you had a good flight today!
