Confirmation Bias in Paragliding: How It Affects Pilot Decision-Making and SafetyYouTube Description

Описание: In this in-depth video, we explore confirmation bias, one of the most dangerous cognitive biases affecting paragliding pilots—often without them even realizing it.

Confirmation bias pushes us to seek information that confirms what we already believe while ignoring warning signs, contradictory data, or alternative options. In paragliding, this can lead to poor launch decisions, risky weather assessments, underestimated conditions, and serious accidents.

In this long-form analysis, you’ll learn:

What confirmation bias is and how it works in the human brain

Why paragliders are especially vulnerable to this bias

Real-world paragliding examples where confirmation bias affects decisions

How ego, experience, and group dynamics reinforce bad choices

Practical strategies and mental checklists to reduce its impact

How instructors and students can train safer decision-making habits

This video is designed for students, intermediate pilots, instructors, and tandem pilots who want to improve their judgment, reduce risk, and fly with a clearer, more critical mindset.

🪂 Better decisions mean safer flights.
If you want to level up your mental skills as a pilot, this video is for you.
