I am having my first ever sim ride in a big plane next year - some of the tips have been positive form other forums, in fact encouraging me to be myself as I am excited and very intimidated by it as well - I am just a an Instructor wanting to get on.
Anyhow, I am an easy going bloke and comments which I have recieved from other more estabilshed Prunner's is that I must use "good CRM".
Without sounding all like a dummy the biggest thing I've flown was an Apache and I regularly teach on cherokees!
So my point is in a multi crew enviroment how do I use good CRM?
Is that the differnce from saying "get that bloody gear up NOW!!"
on a go around or "Please retract the gear Joe" for example.
Am I missing the point ?
CRM to me is about human dynamics in the cockpit am I right in saying this?
HELP????????????????
I don't know much on this topic and what are Captains looking for in a co pilot?
I know there are millions of books on this "CRM" and so advice and tips can only be in the broadest sense , so any would be of great value to myself at this stage...you know so I can at least prepare mentally.
Thanks
