Crew Resource Management Training: Competence, Cognition, and Systems for Airline Pilots delivers an evidence-based approach to CRM that moves beyond traditional training methods to address the realities of modern aviation. It challenges the “one-size-fits-all” approach to CRM training and introduces a competence-based framework rooted in systems thinking and evolutionary psychology.
The new edition expands the discussion beyond individual pilot behavior to encompass aviation as an ecosystem. The book offers guidance for personal skills development within the competency paradigm while examining new case studies, including updated analysis of the B-737MAX and regulatory capture. It also addresses the critical transition in aviation as AI and automation reshape the pilot's role.
Airlines, pilots, aviation industry professionals, and training organizations will benefit from insights into organizational design and alternative approaches to training that can be immediately applied to enhance safety outcomes, operational efficiency, and organizational resilience in today's rapidly evolving aviation environment.
