Our Work

In the complex, high stakes world of aviation, understanding why people make the decisions they do in the moment can mean the difference between routine and risk.

At Presage, we specialize in uncovering the human, organizational, and cultural factors behind critical decision-making. Our proprietary methodology blends psychological insights, decades of operational expertise, and data-driven analyses to reveal the unique factors influencing pilots' behaviour in the moment. We look at everything from behaviour and decision making in the flight deck, to alignment and opportunities for enhancement in broader safety management systems.

Our aviation work is led by seasoned industry professionals and supported by doctoral-level research scientists with expertise in methodological considerations and advanced analytics. We've partnered with global leaders—including Air Canada, Lufthansa, Delta, Citation Jets, Virgin, and the British Antarctic Survey—to deliver cutting-edge assessments and interventions. From our groundbreaking collaboration with Flight Safety International on Go-Around Decision Making & Execution (GADM&E) guidelines, to ongoing evaluations of pilot decision-making across major airlines, our approach is always collaborative, data-informed, and tailored to the unique operational realities of our clients.

We're also at the forefront of innovation in aviation mental health. Development of a digital application to support pilot wellbeing that will contribute to a healthier, more sustainable approach to mental health in the industry, is well underway.
