SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/drone-crm-use-all-resources

Crew resource management means making effective use of which resources?

Human resources, hardware and information, everything available to the remote pilot.

  1. Human resources, hardware and information ✔
  2. Only the remote pilot's own skills
  3. Only the drone's autopilot

Why: CRM is about teamwork and using everything you have: visual observers, your equipment and good information. It includes splitting up tasks and clear communication with the crew.

Huh, didn't know that: The airline industry, aiming to cut accidents caused by human factors, built the first training programs to improve pilot decision-making.

The dad joke
My visual observer and I make a great team. I fly, he spots, and the drone takes all the credit.
