"The captain said he might also have succumbed to a phenomenon commonly referred to as continuation bias, where a pilot believes they can continue with a flight plan or goal despite adverse changes in conditions."

That sometimes fatal disease, Press-onitis.

Scary what they invent names for and even test for .. then add a name to it , I watched "PATTON" the other night , he had a few choice words and very well documented .. today's word everything has a label .. "Combat Stress Syndrome" back then it was "You Spineless Coward" .. "Yella Belly" , least how George C Scott played it .

In New Zealand Politics.. Its called the "I don't recall Syndrome" and "Were is my 100,000 thou bottle of wine" ... , Love to know the name of that poison !

It is very bad , entire drama played out , can't name someone but allowed to steal ...... strange, Pity some of the names could not be placed on the scrap heap ...

Yes we even had to change our calls at minimums on approach to mitigate against "continuation bias".
At minimums it used to be either "Landing" or "Go-around".
Somewhat ironically it is now "Continue" or "Go-around".

The use of the word "landing" was thought, by the boffins, to mentally reinforce that a landing was going to happen when in fact a Go-around still remains an option (even after touchdown).

It's what happens when Psychiatrists are let loose in aviation.

On landing I commonly hear .. Retard Retard ... that is not sending a good message ... miss-spell it "Your a RETART RETART" not a good thing I'm guessing .
