Threat and Error Management is but one aspect of the whole Human Factors/CRM/Safety Management/Error Management/Decision Making/Airmanship conglomeration of Aviation Matter - methinks someone at CASA did their thesis on it and decreed that it shall be the way ahead! The material available relating directly to Threat and Error Management is limited and, I find, relatively intangible to the average simple pilot, like myself.
But CASA have grasped hold of this element of "aviation theory stuff" and made it the be all and end all. I agree, it's a farce, but makes up 5 questions in the ATPL Human Factors exam - I couldn't even understand the questions, let alone know what the answers were - good thing I got all the other important stuff correct!
