According to the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) statistics, the cause of 60-70% of all airplane accidents and incidents are related to ’human factor’. Stress, irritability, fatigue and even pilots’ arrogance towards other staff may take its toll on aircraft crew members during the flight and thus contribute towards a lowered attention span. In order to minimize these risk factors aircraft operators should regularly apply relevant team building programs.
The implementation of different training programs commonly known as Crew Resources Management (CRM), organized by either airlines themselves or with the help of crew lease&recruitment agencies, helps flight team members to overcome their miscommunication issues. “For example, British Airways has recently launched the so-called ’hug a pilot’ program. It is a 90-minute course aimed at improving pre, during and after flight interaction between pilots and other crew members. The course is part of the annual three-days long Safety and Emergency program, where the BA’s crew members cultivate stronger bonds between each other” - shares Skaiste Knyzaite, the CEO of crew lease agency AviationCV.com. The main goal of the CRM is to promote a friendly atmosphere inside the cabin, whilst teaching crew members to express and discuss safety-related concerns without involving overly positive or negative emotions into their interactions.
