Join us for an in depth discussion of aviation safety practices and how they have come to be, the opportunities ahead for the study of UAP (UFO) experiences by pilots, and Dr. Whiteley's efforts to enhance safety training for aviators encountering UAP.=== Dr Iya Whiteley is a space psychologist and cognitive engineer with a focus on improvement of human behavioral and cognitive performance through information presentation on displays and design of training.Iya has 17 years of Human Space Flight research and longer in Aviation Cockpit design, along with designing astronaut's training. Iya is the Director of the Centre of Space Medicine, University College London and has advised the UK Government as the chair of Space Environment Working Group (SEWG) advising the UK Space Agency and as a member of the UK Space Exploration Advisory Committee. If you are a pilot who has had a UAP experience and would like to participate in the upcoming Dr Whiteley's study please visit her website below for more information. If you are interested to fund, to fundraise for this study or to contribute in your own way, please also follow the link below.https://taplink.cc/driyawhiteley/p/extraordinary-experiences/===00:00:00 - The Long-lasting Stigma of Reporting00:01:09 - The Impact of Mental Health on Pilots00:02:15 - Interview with Dr. Ia Whiteley, Space Psychologist00:02:57 - Becoming a Space Psychologist and Understanding Human Performance00:06:11 - Understanding Extreme Environments and Decision-Making00:09:23 - Efficiency and Frustration in Space00:11:56 - Aviation Safety and Nuances00:14:43 - Understanding the Pilot's Thought Process00:17:22 - Cognitive Limitations in Pilots and the Use of Technology00:20:04 - Coordination in a Glass Cockpit00:22:46 - Intuition and the Ability to React Quickly in High Stress Environments00:25:52 - The Expertise of Machine Learning Algorithms00:28:55 - The Importance of Expertise in Decision-Making00:31:29 - Improving Displays and Cognitive Engineering for UAP Analysis00:34:30 - Exploring Tools to Assist in the Aviation Industry00:37:32 - Automation and Airplane Accidents00:40:30 - Human Error and Aircraft Accidents00:45:24 - The Impact of UAP Experiences on Pilots' Mental Capacity00:47:47 - The Consequences of Ignoring Pilot Safety Concerns00:50:24 - Back Channeling on Web Forums Among Pilots00:53:22 - Raising Awareness in Aviation00:56:28 - Pilots' Concerns and Experiences00:59:15 - The Importance of Sharing Experiences and Seeking Support01:01:54 - Understanding Thought Processes and Reactions01:04:58 - Enhancing Pilot Safety through Training and Simulation01:07:35 - Encouraging Collaboration and Funding for Training and Procedures01:10:13 - The Importance of Engaging Pilots in UFO Research
