Crew Resource Management
P-2028
Crew Resource Management
Purpose:Understand attitudes and skills that allow each crewmember to participate as part of the team
Properly trained aircrew members can collectively perform complex tasks better and make more accurate decisions than the single best performer on the team.
An untrained team's overall performance can be significantly worse than the performance of its weakest single member.

Crew Management Goals
Maximize human performance Understand group dynamics Assess, mitigate, and manage risk Manage workload to avoid task saturation or
complacency Improve communication inside and outside
flight deck Maintain situational awareness
P-2028
Human Performance
Managing Fatigue– Scanning is physically demanding work
Consider using search pattern turns as opportunities to stretch muscles
– Duty day rules apply to scanners and observers as well as pilots (CAPR 60-1)
14 hour duty day max– Duty Day is defined as beginning when reporting to work or the
CAP activity, whichever occurs first. It ends at engine shut down. 8 scheduled flight hours within a duty day max Under no circumstances will flight time exceed 10 hours 10 hours rest between duty days minimum
P-2028
Other Human Performance factors
Turbulence Heat / Cold Light / Contrast Boredom Empty Field Myopia
P-2028
Group Dynamics Types of authority / Leadership styles Assertiveness Hazardous Attitudes
– Anti-authority– Impulsiveness– Invulnerability– Macho– Resignation– Get There It-us
P-2028
The Error Chain
A series of event links that, when considered together, cause a mishap.
Should any one of the links be “broken,” then the mishap will not occur.
It is up to each crewmember to recognize a link and break the error chain.
P-2028
Workload Management
Little things can make a difference– Help the pilot manage charts, checklists, etc.– Manage the CAP radio
Consider when to apply sterile flight deck discipline
Think ahead– use idle time to prepare for next busy activity
P-2028
Improved Communication
Entire crew should participate in briefings and debriefings if possible– Otherwise the pilot should thoroughly brief the team
Pilot should plan sorties with the participation of the aircrew
Don’t be afraid to volunteer information in the air and on the ground
Don’t be afraid to ask relevant questions
P-2028
Situational AwarenessKeeping a mental picture of what is happening and about to happen
Don’t’ fixate, scan the big picture Project ahead and consider contingencies Rotate attention between the crew, the plane
(current situation), and the path ahead Speak up when you see SA breaking down
P-2028
Task Saturation
Too much information at one time Too many tasks to accomplish in a given time
Usually occurs when an individual is confronted with a new or unexpected situation. Loses SA.
P-2028
Regaining Situational Awareness
Reduce workload: Suspend the mission. Reduce threats:
– Get away from the ground and other obstacles (e.g., climb to a safe altitude).
– Establish a stable flight profile where you can safely analyze the situation.
Remember: “Aviate, Navigate, Communicate”
P-2028
How do we get it back?
Trust your gut feelings “Time Out,” “Abort,” or “This is Stupid.”
– Pilot establishes aircraft in a safe and stable configuration, and then discuss the problem
Sterile Cockpit– Limit talk to the minimum necessary for safety.– Taxi, takeoff, departure, low-level flying,
approach, landing

Assignment of Duties
CAPR 60-3 Flight-related -- aircraft commander Mission-related -- mission commander

Crew Coordination
Understand and execute your assignments
CommunicateQuestion
P-2028
Summary Pay close attention to all briefings. Understand the “big picture.” Watch for task overload in yourself and other
crewmembers. 67% of air transport accidents occur during
17% of the flight time - taxi, takeoff, departure, approach and landing. Keep casual conversation and distractions to a minimum during these phases of flight.
Begin critical communications with instructions, then explain.
P-2028
SummarySuccessful missions hinge on each and every
crewmemberLearn how to use the procedures and tools
available to you, and use them correctlyNever stop learningDon’t be afraid to ask questionsNever criticize someone for asking questionsAnyone can call “Time Out,” “Abort,” or “This
is Stupid”Practice, practice, practice!
