CRM Question
Hi all,
I'm looking for either advice or direction as to where to find information relating to the CRM.
I have seen it mentioned in numerous places, but I'm too sure what CRM involves, or what it means for that matter so assistance would be gratefully appreciated.
Also, any other advice relating to be being an effective 1st officer would be great.
Many thanks
Fra

Fra, CRM stands for Cockpit Resource Management.
It deals with the effects of flight on aircrew and their environment (ie, the cockpit or flight deck). It also deals with how the crew is managed, or manages, various stages of flight in both normal and abnormal circumstances.
There are various publications about CRM and Human Factors and Performance, your best bet is to consult an instructor to find the best ones.
All the best,
Kermie

CRM is more commonly being referred to as Crew Resource Management nowadays.
This encompasses all the crew on the aircraft (and those on the ground) not just the people up at the pointy end.
If you would like to read a good book on the topic, I recommend Human Factors in Flight by Frank Hawkins (Ashgate, 1997). If you really want to get into the fundamentals of human error etc., then read some of the work of Professor James Reason (a true safety guru).
