I can become too distracted by diagnosing the problem or having to
communicate intelligibly with a helper to remember to double-check
that the emergency brakes are on and the opposite corner wheel
chocked
on both sides. It's easy to forget that Park doesn't restrain the
vehicle when one drive wheel lifts off the ground.

I must not be that "good" - I seem to start with "handbrakes,
chocks, jack stands ... now what is the problem?"

for the Cockpit Voice Recorder and the Stall and PULL UP! warnings.

We considered the effect on situational awareness while developing
advanced aviation electronic aids for the FAA at Mitre. (I just
