KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines
This airline has long been in the forefront of LOFT and CRM training in Europe. Its Human Factors Awareness Course for aircrew constituted one of the earliest airline human factors courses. KLM provided a brief and a long version of its programme. The brief version follows.
Management considerations
From the start of the use of flight simulators instead of link trainers KLM has been convinced that this not only meant simulation of the aircraft as such, but also simulation of the circumstances of a flight. In other words, almost right from the beginning, in fact, well before the name was invented, KLM has adopted LOFT for its type recurrent training. About seven years ago LOFT was also introduced during type qualification training.
Benefits
It goes without saying that in respect of benefits from LOFT and CRM no hard figures are available. However, we think KLM's performance reflects a high quality, which is undoubtedly a result of LOFT and CRM.
Methods
LOFT and CRM are incorporated in type recurrent and type qualification training in such a way that the instructor will as little as possible interfere during the simulator session. During the (thorough) debriefing especially, the aspect of crew management is reviewed, for the two-man crew aircraft with the help of a video recording of the session. Furthermore, a special crew management course/workshop is scheduled for each pilot, in principle before his upgrading to captain.
