Warbird Radio Kicks Off Safety Month with Dr. Ian Robertson and Lift Aviation’s Braydn Lentz

WARBIRD RADIO - March is Safety Month on Warbird Radio, and we’re starting the conversation with a deep dive into the science behind pilot decision-making. In our latest episode, host Matt Jolley sits down with renowned neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Dr. Ian Robertson to explore why even the most disciplined pilots sometimes make risky decisions in the cockpit. Dr. Robertson, a Professor of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin and author of The Winner Effect, explains how the brain’s attention system influences cognitive function, emotional regulation, and ultimately, pilot safety.

Understanding human behavior is just one piece of the safety puzzle. Also joining us in this episode is Braydn Lentz from Lift Aviation, who discusses the critical role of helmet safety in vintage military aircraft operations. Lentz shares insights on how modern helmet technology helps reduce head trauma in emergency situations and why every warbird pilot should consider this essential gear.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do in aviation, and throughout March, Warbird Radio will bring you expert perspectives on minimizing risks and enhancing operational awareness. Tune in to our latest episode for this insightful conversation with Dr. Robertson and Braydn Lentz, and stay with us all month long for more safety-focused discussions.
