Thanks for the compliment, Norm, but we can't take the credit. The
categories were borrowed from the original BASIS categories developed at
BA, as modified by Dr. John Chappelow at Defence Research Agency
Farnborough for use in incident and accident investigation. (John is, as
far as I know, the UK's most experienced HF accident investigator for both
civil and military.) Loftwork simply modified his categories to cover CRM
Programme topics and training resources which weren't addressed originally.
No cataloguing system is universally perfect and immune from change. Ours
is optimal for training material, although still conceptually close to
BASIS.
If anyone is going to have a (highly desirable) bash at improving the
incident/accident categories I'd recommend a chat with Dr. Chappelow
somewhere in the process.
BTW, if anyone has any CRM training resources they'd like to share with (or
sell to) the community internationally I'd be grateful for information
about them. The LOFTwork CRM resource database is actually a research
database we manage on a non-profit basis for the Royal Aeronautical
Society's Human Factors Group. We can't afford to actively look for new
videos etc. in any systematic way, but any information we gather goes
worldwide.
