Fellahs,
CRM is not about pilot/co-pilot relationships and info transfer - it's about becoming more aware of your SITUATION. Whether you are operating a single pilot machine or a heavy with a crew, CRM training makes you aware of the pitfalls you may encounter and some tools to deal with them.
The 'C' stands for CREW in the books I find on my crew room coffe table and I include ATC, maintainers, armamment ops, medics, soldiers on the ground, other aircraft crews and anyone else in that definition. Then I categorise the individual as:
Helping me - good CRM
Getting in my way - bad CRM
And take appropriate actions.
A single pilot operator needs just as much knowledge of good CRM as your average overpaid understimulated QANTAS cabbie.
Here endeth the lesson.
My experience includes only 2000 hours, around 600 single pilot FW and the rest multi crewed military helos. But I make every hour count, my kids will see their daddy more that way!
