Thursday, December 11th 2025 1:15 pm - 2:00 pm

The air show environment is dynamic, complex, and filled with potential risks. Threat Error Management (TEM), widely applied in airline operations, offers a proven framework for identifying hazards, managing errors, and maintaining the highest levels of safety. In this session, United Airlines pilots and Recognized Air Bosses, Skip Johnson and Scott McMillan will share how TEM principles can be adapted specifically for the air show community to enhance pilot performance, improve decision-making, and reduce the likelihood of incidents.
