Modem pilot training methods reflect these demands. Hirnian performance and limitations , multi-crew coordination training and crew resource management training are important subjects in the airline pilot education and licensing process.

Under this proposal, flight crews would have to demonstrate, not just learn, critical skills in real-world training scenarios. Pilots would be required to train as a complete flight crew, coordinate their actions through Crew Resource Management, and fly scenarios based on actual events. Dispatchers would... 

Indicators Number of breakdowns in critical communication equipment. Level of team training focusing on communication - such as Crew Resource Management (CRM). Periodic assessment of Team mutual awareness, quahty of communication in critical operations related to clarity, process awareness and risk awareness. 

Conducting ongoing training. Investment is made in the knowledge and skills of workers on the front line. This investment includes training in teamwork, such as the team technologies involved in crew resource management. 

Input mechanisms refer to the beginning of the chain—selection. Pilots or air traffic controllers enter a process of learning and training, assessment and evaluation. Learning processes feed into selection and crew performance, and, as it has been researched in crew resource management, eventually become part of individual performance, so that input mechanisms ideally integrate the results from an entire chain. 

Coping mechanisms are a behavioral tool used by pilots and crew to offset or overcome stress and adversity. Research on coping mechanisms has helped to understand pilot error and challenges in crew resource management. Stress resistance has been part of selection methods and its understanding has much to offer to improve training in the aviation sector. 

In the section entitled Input Mechanisms , the first chapter discusses the integration of crew resource management studies into modem pilot training methods. The authors from the German Aerospace Center show that skills in leadership, conflict management and other interpersonal competences are required next to excellence in technical knowledge and flying skill. These advances in pilot selection are illustrated with one of the latest assessment center methods that feature empirical tests to show their effectiveness.

One of the most successful forms of team training used in the complex sociotechni-cal domains is Crew Resource Management (CRM) training. Emerging within the civil aviation domain, CRM training programs were first developed in response to...
