Human Factors live broadcast series prepares for takeoff

By General Aviation News Staff · January 6, 2026 · 1 Comment

On Second Thought, a live series focused on human factors in aviation, debuts Jan. 20, 2026.

Hosted by Jolie Lucas and Harvey Madison, On Second Thought explores the intersection of psychology, performance, and safety in the cockpit, according to Lucas.

“Aviation safety isn’t just about checklists and procedures — it’s about understanding ourselves,” she says. “On Second Thought opens up that conversation.”

“We want to bridge the gap between training and real-world flying,” adds Madison. “When we understand the human element, we can fly smarter and safer.”

Lucas is a licensed psychotherapist, instrument-rated commercial pilot, and Mooney owner. She is the founder of Right Seat Ready! and Pilot Plus One by Jolie Lucas, both dedicated to helping pilots and their companions improve safety and confidence in flight.

Madison is an instructional designer at a major flight training company and creator of in-simulator training and proficiency programs for private and instrument pilots.

The series is produced by John Teipen, a CFII, MEI, Glider and Seaplane CFI, Gold Seal Flight Instructor, and a NAFI Master Instructor. A retired FAA Designated Pilot Examiner, he serves as an FAASTeam Lead Representative, FAA WINGS Pro, and FAA Drone Pro. He is president of Aeronautical Proficiency Training and Chair of the WINGS Industry Network.

New episodes will be live every third Tuesday of the month, while past episodes will be archived for on-demand viewing.

Viewers can earn FAA WINGS credit. Subscribers also can receive a 5% discount on Avemco insurance.
