What a subject Aviation CRM is! And here it is, Fun and Fury!
Here’s a book with a fresh take on it, not to criticise, but to question the way we teach it and the way we use it. Every pilot thinks they’re good at CRM, that’s the nature of being human and being a pilot. But maybe just being ‘good enough’ doesn’t meet all the needs of safe commercial flying. Maybe we need to be even better at it, maybe we could be better at it. Being the best at CRM is a choice, but for ‘professionals’ it’s also a requirement.
Why after years of ‘unstable approach criteria’ do some pilots still refuse to Go Around when the evidence to do so is staring them in the face? Why do we dig around for reasons that a perfectly serviceable aeroplane, on a day when you can see for miles, is flown into the ground? It’s like trying to find reasons for a car driving into a brick wall. Is it so hard to Go Around? But as the author says … you have to have more than Idle thrust set, to achieve it… and with the nose above the horizon too.
How come a perfectly serviceable plane which, in heavy rain, is both too fast and too high touches down a quarter of the way along the runway, fails to apply reverse thrust immediately, needs a twenty page report to say what went wrong and why? If you don’t land on the correct part of the runway … you know what to do…
When the poop hits the fan …FLY THE PLANE..
The misnomer AVIATE in the advice ‘Aviate Navigate Communicate’ needs to be ditched for good, because when it’s needed it’s not used. It’s a word with too many meaning and not enough direction.
What exactly does Aviate mean? Did a flying instructor or training pilot ever tell a student to ‘Aviate’? We bang on about communication and the ONE action that should be used to save planes is disguised in the smart arse wordplay of words ending in -ate. Would it meet the communication criteria of clear, concise, unambiguous and appropriate? FLY THE PLANE.
How can pilots flying an ILS not notice that the thrust levers aren’t moving and the plane is slowing down …and stalls. That’s not because, as the author suggests, his parents didn’t buy him or her an ice cream on a day out at the seaside. If you’re that sensitive, go and be a counsellor and share it. Is it possible that sometimes it’s just plain carelessness? Why after flying 5000 miles at 84% of the speed of sound do some pilots want to keep the speed up for the last 10 miles?
Maybe there are some practices that need a fresh angle.
Apart from that, the author covers the syllabus that’s required for most CRM courses, initial, recurrent, change of type etc. His bête noir are case studies, and the inevitable “Well I wouldn’t have done that!” replies. But there are case studies. That’s hypocrisy for you!
It’s written to be enlightening, interesting and thought provoking. For the sensitive, there are a couple of expletives, but no more than you’d get from an interview with a rock star, there’s sarcasm and stupidity and a denial that serious is synonymous with learning.
Some personal stories of a few good and lots of poor CRM events have been included.
It’ll make most pilots think, and laugh.
It’ll be more than useful for new pilots into the industry.
The main themes are, don’t rush, slow down, get down and even if you think you don’t need it IF IN DOUBT PUT THE SPEED-BRAKES OUT. (or are you ‘speed-brake shy’?)
Flying on the edge means you’ll go over it one day.
If you don’t get anything from it let me know and I’ll refund your money to your favourite charity.
