SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Slips
Slips are the incorrect sending of information or miscommunication. Often well-formed habits take over and we
make a slip. Slips often occur in giving rudder or engine
commands, or in responding on the radio. These slips may be
humorous or seem insignificant, but they are a visual or
auditory form of human error. They may indicate that the
individual making the slip is under added stress.
Unfortunately, the individual may not recognize the slip.
Example: An example is a verbal rudder order for left rudder
when the direction of the hand was toward the right. The
wrong call sign that is used to respond to another vessel is
another example of a slip.
Corrective Action: Inform the individual of the slip,
regardless of differences in rank.
