Crew Co-ordination1
Crew co-ordination is the advantage of teamwork over a collection of highly skilled individuals. Its prominent benefits are:
.
an increase in safety by redundancy to detect and remedy individual errors; and
.
an increase in efficiency by the organised use of all existing resources, which improves the in-flight management.
The basic variables determining the extent of crew co-ordination are the attitudes, motivation and training of the team members. Especially under stress (physical, emotional or managerial), there is a high risk that crew co-ordination will break down. The results are a decrease in communication (marginal or no exchange of information), an increase in errors (e.g. wrong decisions) and a lower probability of correcting deviations either from standard operating procedures or the desired flight path. Additionally, emotional conflicts in the cockpit may result.
The high risks associated with a breakdown of crew co-ordination show the need for CRM training. This kind of training ensures that:
. the pilot has the maximum capacity for the primary task of flying the aircraft and making decisions;

.
the workload is equally distributed among the crew members, so that excessive workload for any individual is avoided;
.
co-ordinated co-operation – including the exchange of information;
.
the support of fellow crew members and the monitoring of each others’ performance – will be maintained under both normal and abnormal conditions.
