There is currently a concern for standardization and level of sophistication in CRM training. We have basically three approaches to CRM training for operational aircrew. A classroom only lecture/facilitation type, a classroom facilitation with Mission oriented simulator training (LOFT) reinforcement type, and a PC based interactive mission type. Which one is the correct approach? Is there a wrong approach?
How often is CRM training required? Can currency requirements be based on experience level
of aircrew? How much CRM training is required? How do you measure it's effectiveness? What do you do for aircrew members that do not have a station in the simulator? How realistic does the training have to
be?
Should CRM be integrated in the everyday environment in place of or in addition to annual CRM training? How do you integrate the training into everyday operations without it becoming just another square filler in the over tasked mission environment?
