The Nr Fairy,
Ok, Nice one you got me.
I guess I fell down a bit on my TLA's.
It's been a bit since I did my last CRM course, however, is this not just a gimicky way of re-packaging those traditional skills of professional airmanship that all pilots, single crew or not are encouraged to aspire to?
A good instructor should be able to instill all the required skills in a new pilot, so that the student has the "BUG" to keep learning long after he/she is left alone in the cockpit.
IMHO, courses can get you the ticks in the boxes, but there is no substitute for actualy getting out there and gaining the experience that is necessary for good Cockpit Resource Management.
