Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) has gained increased attention from the airline industry in recent years due to the growing number of accidents and near misses in airline traffic. This book, authored by the first generation of CRM experts, is the first comprehensive work on CRM. Cockpit Resource Management is a far-reaching discussion of crew coordination, communication, and resources from both within and without the cockpit. A valuable resource for commercialand military airline training curriculum, the book is also a valuable reference for business professionals who are interested in effective communication among interactive personnel. Key Features* Discusses international and cultural aspects of CRM* Examines the design and implementation of Line-Oriented Flight Training (LOFT)* Explains CRM, LOFT, and cockpit automation* Provides a case history of CRM training which improved flight safety for a major airline "A quality text drawing together material from a group of authors with backgrounds in academia, government, and private enterprise, who represent the diversity of the research of activities and organisational experience of CRM... The range of material covered is both extensive and impressive, and readers wanting to acquaint themselves with, for example, the psychology of decision making or general training issues, would do well to start here. Intended readers could therefore be not only those who specifically want to know about CRM, but also those keen to find out about flight deck or avionics issues in general. Wiener and his colleagues have masterminded a much needed book in terms of its timeliness and importance in bringing together the disparate body of material on CRM. It is a very comprehensive text...To sum it up, I think this book is a first class contribution to the aviation psychology literature." --PERCEPTION Now Available in Paperback!

Earl L. Wiener is a professor of management science and industrial engineering at the University of Miami. He received his B.A. in psychology from Duke University and his Ph.D. in psychology and industrial engineering from Ohio State University. He served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army and is rated in fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. He has conducted research in the areas of human vigilance, automobile and aviation safety, and accidents occurring to the elderly. Since 1979 he has been active in the aeronautics and cockpit automation research of NASA’s Ames Research Center. Dr. Wiener is a fellow of the Human Factors Society and the American Psychological Association. Dr. Barbara Kanki served as a Research Scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Ames Research Center (Moffett Field, California) in the Human Systems Integration Division. Over her tenure of more than 25 years, she conducted human performance research in support of NASA Aviation Safety Programs, Human Factors and Performance for Space Safety, and a variety of Human Factors programs for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In a consulting role she worked with other high risk industries such as the medical and nuclear power fields. Dr. Kanki’s research activities have ranged across human factors topics such as crew communication and coordination, organizational factors, information and workload management for aviation operations including flight crews, ground control, and technical operations. Her research interests include human-centered procedure and document design, integration and training for new technologies as well as safety topics such as voluntary reporting and event investigation. She has supported the space side of NASA in human and socio-technical risk factors, team training, and procedure design primarily for the space shuttle program at Kennedy Space Center and has participated on NASA mishap boards, safety assessments and National Transportation Safety Board human performance investigations. After retiring from NASA in 2014, Dr. Kanki continues to contribute to NASA
