Followership is a topic that I always found it hard to find training content for. I never really liked the term either, as it gives a feeling of subservience…
This podcast by Ben Hutchinson sheds some light on the topic by discussing two interesting papers in this short episode.

CRM K-Hub brings you an overview of this comprehensive, science-based checklist for CRM training design and delivery, intended to guide trainers through the full training life-cycle. Meant as a good primer for CRM trainers who are not familiar with core training principles.

We look at what a major new systematic review by Yiu et al. (2026) tells us about how artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way aviation understands and manages human performance, with major implications for human factors research and Crew Resource Management (CRM) training.

and Procedures for Unexpected events Unexpected events in aviation disrupt crews’ expectations, increase stress and workload, and require rapid sensemaking rather than simple checklist use. This paper argues that safe outcomes depend less on knowing more procedures and more on resilience: the ability to anticipate, monitor, adapt, and recover when things do not go as […]

This paper systematically reviewed published evaluations of CRM training effectiveness in order to quantify the impact of CRM on key outcomes such as learner reactions, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviours. It is significant because it provided one of the first quantitative syntheses showing that CRM has positive impacts on key human factors outcomes and validated CRM’s general effectiveness.

This study by Captain Vlaskamp and colleagues from TU Delft in the Netherlands examines how airline pilots experience startle and surprise in real operational contexts and evaluates their use of a structured startle/surprise recovery method known as the “Reset Method.”

This study by Vlaskamp and colleagues investigates how often startle and surprise events occur in helicopter operations, how pilots respond, and what mitigation strategies are currently used or could be adopted to enhance safety.

Crew Resource Management (2nd Edition) is widely regarded as the definitive reference text on CRM training and practice in aviation. Edited by some of the original pioneers in CRM research, this comprehensive volume synthesises decades of empirical evidence, theoretical insight, and real-world applications to offer both depth and breadth on the subject.

This paper proposes an emotions-based training approach for aviation crews that complements traditional Evidence-Based Training (EBT) and CRM by integrating mental preparation, self-awareness, and stress/emotion management techniques adapted from sports psychology.

This study explores how CRM training translates into real operational practice from the perspective of cabin crew members in commercial air passenger transport. Findings indicate that CRM training positively influences situational awareness, communication, teamwork, stress and workload management, and proactive safety behaviors, suggesting that core non-technical skills are indeed carried over into the field
