Hey, gang, I finally got out of the stack of messages we've generated
the past few days. Exiting reading!!! I'm glad majordomo-Niel is stocking the
archives with the different subjects we've addressed lately.
I'm from the old school of CRM training and am not convinced PCs have a
role in the CRM training process. Some of you do. I also see the
discussions evolving to the need of "jeaprody" training. The last
facilitator class I had came to a consensus that unless the check-airman have
a bit of a hammer on checkrides, the CRM behavior will develop slowly, or not
at all.
I'll be trying a recreation LOFT tomorrow, and we'll see if an
individual, who just attended initial training will perform some "emergency
talk" that will be required to break an error chain. He's had a lot of
orientation and awareness training this week, so he should be ready to "take
it to the airplane", correct?
We'll be using a full (well sort-of) fidelity simulator, and flying a
mission that will be very similar to a recent aircraft mishap. The crew will
even discuss the mishap prior to their flight.
If the training plan goes well, he'll take controls from an incapacitated
PIC, in spite of the barrier that English is not his natural, nor fluent,
language. He's also been in this culture for only one month.
Can the PC enthusiasts create this experiential test as well?
