Mechanisms

• Cognitive Offloading Aid
  • An airline cockpit runs on the pre-flight checklist — the paradigm cognitive offloading aid, born after a 1935 test flight of a new Boeing bomber crashed because a highly experienced crew forgot a single step.
• Coverage Checklist Walkthrough
  • This ritual descends from the 1935 crash of the Boeing Model 299, after which test pilots invented the written checklist precisely so that no step of a complex aircraft would depend on recall.

    This sourceA good checklist is short and focused on the "killer items" precisely so that it is actually walked rather than rubber-stamped.
