Description

This book outlines the critical skills that are required for pilots to become an effective crew member. While pilots spend many hours learning the technical and proficiency skills that are necessary to operate an aircraft with skill and precision, safety will be compromised if their Crew Resource Management (CRM) skills are lacking. Years of airline safety and accident data reveal that well-developed CRM skills are essential for flight safety, and this book will introduce the core principles that will equip each pilot to be a productive crew member. Flight safety is greatly enhanced when the pilots operate with a crew mindset. Those who actively and effectively employ these skills while they are junior will be better equipped for the day when they are given the authority to command a crew of their own. This book focuses less on the academic aspects of CRM, and more on the practical application of the skills necessary to enhance flight safety. Flying planes requires skilled pilots...
