During which parts of a drone operation should crew resource management be used?

Use CRM during all phases of the operation, not just while airborne.

  1. Only during takeoff
  2. Only during radio calls
  3. All phases of the operation ✔

Why: Good teamwork starts with planning and continues through setup, flight, landing, and review. Limiting CRM to the flight misses chances to catch problems early.

Huh, didn't know that: The FAA study guide calls CRM one way to make good aeronautical decisions.

The dad joke
The crew shared resources because teamwork really lifted the operation.
