Abstract

Human resource training in the airline industry is of cardinal importance for aviation safety. Pilots are the key players in this industry and human resource training dedicated at reducing pilot error plays a significant role in decreasing a large number of aircraft mishaps. Crew Resource Management is the elite training method that deals with human error reduction within the aviation industry. This study proposes that the evolution of Crew Resource Management training helps reducing particular types of airline pilot errors. Archival data on aircraft mishaps in the United States taken from the National Transportation Safety Board is used in the evaluation of the aforementioned training development.
