Abstract: Many accident reports have stressed the fact that first officers sometimes follow risky choices \nmade by captains, resulting in the mitigation of flight safety. While this tendency is well known in \nthe field of aviation, few studies have examined the impact of captains’ influence on first officers’ \ndecision-making and the associated neural correlates. The present study aimed to investigate the \nextent to which first officers are influenced by captains when the latter adopt a risky behavior. Student \npilots who were about to complete their training participated in this study. In the first part of \nthe experiment, they were presented with 50 different landing situations (i.e., pictures of Primary \nFlight Display, PFD).
