I love these threads....
Here's my take on CRM,....from the perspective of a pilot flying a Citation Encore Single pilot...
Level 1- Captain is that a mountain up ahead?
Level 2- Captain I think that is a mountain up ahead
Level 3- Captain I think we are headed into that mountain
Level 4- Captain we will hit that mountain in 5 minutes
Level 5- Captain if you don't change course, I am calling dispatch
Level 6- Captain, dispatch says you need to avoid the mountain
Level 7- Captain, the chief pilot says you need to avoid the mountain
Level 8 - Captain, the stewardess's and passengers took a vote and think you should avoid the mountain
Level 8 - Captain, I am considering taking the controls
Level 9- Captain, I am really, really considering taking the controls
Level 10- I don't mean to hurt your feelings but I am taking the controls
Level 11- Now that I have the controls, but only have 200 hours can you confirm I am on on the right heading and will not hit anything?
