BACKGROUND

Crew resource management (CRM) grew out of airline efforts to reduce accidents caused by human factors. The Remote Pilot Study Guide describes CRM training as focused on the effective use of all available resources: human resources, hardware, and information supporting aeronautical decision-making (ADM). Its purpose is to facilitate crew cooperation and improve decision-making. Many CRM concepts also apply to single-pilot operations, which led to Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM).

STUDY TIP

Keep the three CRM resource categories in mind as people, equipment, and information; the goal of CRM is better decisions through crew cooperation.

KEY POINTS

  • CRM training focuses on effective use of all available resources.
  • The study guide names three categories: human resources, hardware, and information.
  • CRM exists to support ADM and improve crew decision-making.
