Crew Resource Management Summary

Crew Resource Management by Earl L. Wiener (University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, U.S.A.)

Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) has gained increased attention from the airline industry in recent years due to the growing number of accidents and near misses in airline traffic. This book, authored by the first generation of CRM experts, is the first comprehensive work on CRM. Cockpit Resource Management is a far-reaching discussion of crew coordination, communication, and resources from both within and without the cockpit. A valuable resource for commercialand military airline training curriculum, the book is also a valuable reference for business professionals who are interested in effective communication among interactive personnel.

Crew Resource Management Reviews

A quality text drawing together material from a group of authors with backgrounds in academia, government, and private enterprise, who represent the diversity of the research of activities and organisational experience of CRM... The range of material covered is both extensive and impressive, and readers wanting to acquaint themselves with, for example, the psychology of decision making or general training issues, would do well to start here. Intended readers could therefore be not only those who specifically want to know about CRM, but also those keen to find out about flight deck or avionics issues in general. Wiener and his colleagues have masterminded a much needed book in terms of its timeliness and importance in bringing together the disparate body of material on CRM. It is a very comprehensive text...To sum it up, I think this book is a first class contribution to the aviation psychology literature. --PERCEPTION

In a consulting role she worked with other high risk industries such as the medical and nuclear power fields. Dr. Kanki's research activities have ranged across human factors topics such as crew communication and coordination, organizational factors, information and workload management for aviation operations including flight crews, ground control, and technical operations. Her research interests include human-centered procedure and document design, integration and training for new technologies as well as safety topics such as voluntary reporting and event investigation. She has supported the space side of NASA in human and socio-technical risk factors, team training, and procedure design primarily for the space shuttle program at Kennedy Space Center and has participated on NASA mishap boards, safety assessments and National Transportation Safety Board human performance investigations. After retiring from NASA in 2014, Dr. Kanki continues to contribute to NASA projects and FAA/industry groups, and is the current chair of the Human Performance working group of the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety.
