BASIC CRM CONCEPT AVIATION SAFETY

 Prevention of Accidents: CRM (CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT)

CRM & AVIATION SAFETY :

 

The primary focus of a good CRM, is on communication, both who are inside the cockpit and those who are outside the cockpit too, such as Air Traffic Controller (ATC) dispatch etc.

A good and effective communication is the critical factor in Cockpit Management, because the most important aspect of CRM training is the interpersonal communication, a good communication means more than speaking clearly, with a correct phraseology, it’s also means that the other persons understands what you are saying, and also as well as you understand what the other person is saying.

Today I want to refresh to all my colleagues, in the aviation business, that there are five aspects of communication on which we need to focus always to have safest flights. Safety is always.

Remember always improving your proficiency in inquiry, advocacy, listening, conflict resolution, and critique, can help you become a good and excellent safety pilot and also a respectable resource manager and decision maker inside your cockpit.

Good decisions are based on good information. Pilots always remember in the cockpit, inquiry consists of gathering all the information you can, on both from your visual scan and from questioning the other crew members or outside resources, a very good example Air Traffic Controllers, pilots it also means, to refresh your memory and safety concepts, that means, asking always for any clarification when the information is not clearly understood, any professional pilot know what, I am writing here, this safety post again that means checking always your instruments, radios, charts etc, and fly safe at all time.

Safety is first. The concept of CRM over the last few years has been alarming the number of airline accidents in which the defective item was a bad interpretation of Cockpit Resource Management (CRM), and has been cited as a factor, but today to the new generation of pilots.

I am focus again in this important model, to avoid incidents and accidents, because in each of the last accidents in the past the captain failed to make effective decision because he, or his crew, did not use the proper concept of CRM practices.

In my other safety post, I am going to talk how to managing startle effect, and crew and organizational strategies. The effect of Startle on Pilots during critical events and also, going to write how the startle reflex on safety.

 Always Fly Safe!!
