Bounded Rationality and Risk Management in Thermal Soaring

"This collaborative work explored how to manage sporting risk in thermal soaring. John Bird, a PhD candidate in Aeronautical Engineering and I statistically modelled the atmosphere. We calculated how much risk a pilot can accept over a long period, such as a competition and avoid landing out. We devised a cognitive model that allows the pilot to manage risk in the cockpit.
