CRM
CRM is very important for flight safety. Through CRM, Crew members can
communicate with each other. It can also help us to know who should do what and
remind us. For example, when the ATC give instruction, the co-pilot and the
captain should confirm to each other to prevent erroneous understanding of the
instructions, especially when the plane is in abnormal situation.
CRM means Cockpit Resource Management. It needs the good cooperation
between the flight crew and cabin crew. It is important to ensure the flight
safety.
In emergency situation, CRM help crew members to solve the problems
together. I think the key point of CRM is a good communication with crew
members.
