Cockpit resource management (CRM) is discussed in the context of programs developed by Pennsylvania Airlines and Ransome Airlines. Video techniques in flight training are emphasized. Problems in cockpit interpersonal communication are addressed.
Cockpit resource management which is a multifaceted concept is outlined. The system involves the effective coordination of many resources: aircraft systems, company, air traffic control, equipment, navigational aids, documents, and manuals. The main concept, however, is group interaction. Problems which arise from lack of coordination, decision making, and lack of communication are pointed out. Implementation by the regional airline industry of cockpit resource management, designed to deal with human interactions problems in the most cost effective manner, is discussed.
