Crew Resource Management: A Comprehensive Guide
Crew Resource Management (CRM) training originated from a NASA workshop in 1979 that focused on improving air safety. The NASA research at that time found the primary cause of the majority of aviation accidents to be human error, and further showed the main problems to be failures of interpersonal communication, leadership, and decision making in the cockpit.
Evolution of CRM
Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) has gained increased attention from the airline industry in recent years due to the growing number of accidents and near misses in airline traffic. This book, authored by the first generation of CRM experts, is the first comprehensive work on CRM.
Key Features
- Covers crew coordination, communication, and resources from both within and without the cockpit
- Valuable resource for commercial and military airline training curriculum
- Includes case examples and an image collection
- Testbank available for instructors
The new edition of Crew Resource Management continues to focus on CRM in the cockpit, but also emphasizes that the concepts and training applications provide generic guidance and lessons learned for a wide variety of ‘crews’ in the aviation system as well as in the complex and high-risk operations of many non-aviation settings.
