ABSTRACT

In this article the authority system in the airplane cockpit is related to thirty year
old authority studies of Stanley Milgram. Human errors made in the cockpit are found
similar to those made in the authority experiments. It is argued that up to 20% of all
airplane accidents may be preventable by optimizing the monitoring and challenging of
captain errors by the first officer.
