Description
The book provides a data-driven approach to real-world crew resource management (CRM) applicable to commercial pilot performance. It addresses the shift to a systems-based resilience thinking that aims to understand how worker performance provides a buffer against failure. This book will be the first to bring these ideas together.
Taking a competence-based approach offers a more coherent, relevant approach to CRM. The book presents relevant, real-world examples of the concepts and outlines a change in thinking around pilot performance and data interpretation that is overdue.
Airlines, pilots and aviation industry professionals will benefit from the insights into organisational design and alternative approaches to training.
FEATURES
Approaches CRM from a competence-based perspective
Uses a systems model to bring coherence to CRM
Includes a chapter on using blended learning and virtual reality to deliver CRM
Features research on work/life balance, morale, pilot fatigue and link to error
Operationalises 'resilience engineering' in a crew context
