My views regarding your questions:
CRM / human factors awareness can and should be promoted via all means, not
just one. However, I believe that the provision of the highest level of
realism (FFS) will create the most convincing learning.
We want our crews to practice CRM full time. It is therefore required full
time. It should therefore be embedded in all flight training functions,
both transition and recurrent. It should be part of the required toolbox of
all trainers and examiners. It should, in my opinion, also be scored with
behavioral markers.
Best wishes,
John Bent

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?
