Key Takeaways:
"On Second Thought" (OST) is a new monthly livestreamed video series, launching January 20, 2026, dedicated to improving aviation safety by exploring human factors and pilot decision-making.
The program draws from FAA and NTSB reports on top human factor threats, aiming to help pilots understand their safety profile and adopt practical strategies to avoid behavioral traps.
Co-hosted by aviation advocates Jolie Lucas and Harvey Madison, and produced by FAA National Flight Instructor of the Year John Teipen, the series emphasizes reducing general aviation accident rates.
Viewers are eligible for FAA WINGS credit, and Avemco Insurance Company policyholders who subscribe receive a 5 percent discount on their insurance.
When there is an aviation accident or incident, one of the first things that happens is the Monday morning quarterbacking. Often, the discussions focus on the decision making of the pilot involved—and sometimes, we see ourselves in the pilot.
