Attached is an article on resilience for pilots that I wrote that was published by the Royal Aeronautical Society in 2015. All aspects of this report remain current today.
This report predates (but incorporates many features in) FLY! – the Elements of Resilience. After this report was written, I received the honour to present to the International Civil Aviation Organization at its headquarter in Montreal in January 2016.
