Human Factor: Operational Blind Spot — When more data doesn't automatically mean better decisions (interview)

World Airnews · February 2026 · Vol. 53, Issue 12 (February 2026), Opinion section · pp. 44-49 · By Andre Roos

Six-page, sixteen-question interview by Judi Rodokanakis with Andre Roos of SkyGuard Global on how real-time flight data and predictive risk tools interact with human judgement, organisational culture and decision-making. Roos argues that information overload is a human-factors trap, that identified risk is pointless without an intervention pathway, that automation must remain a tool while human judgement stays the authority, and that leadership culture determines whether risk data makes anyone safer. Source text for his February–March 2026 LinkedIn articles and posts and the SkyGuard Insights post of 17 March 2026.
