Mario Pierobon draws lessons from a fatal Hawker 800 crash to highlight why thorough briefings and crew coordination should be a central part of any flight operations’ CRM Training.
In this 2026 study, Bills, Costello, and Cattani present a rare inside look at how 12 leading government Safety Investigation Authorities (SIAs) actually analyse major aviation accidents.
The study maps the investigation models and analytical frameworks used in practice by investigators and compares them with both ICAO guidance and contemporary academic debate.
In this interview, Helen Heenan discusses whether current Cabin Crew CRM training truly prepares crew for real operational challenges, touching on topics such as training effectiveness, regulatory gaps, and adapting for a new generation.
Mental performance training is quite common in the sports world, but not (yet) in aviation. Some are ahead of the game, as this episode from The Calm Cockpit shows. Tammy Barlette explains insights into performance coaching, and talks about her online training program.
For those CRM Trainers who are designing interactive or scenario-based facilitation sessions, check out this source of inspiration and assistance for planning and conducting team training.
This article by Alex Pollitt recounts a serious inflight emergency after multiple, interacting failures, including smoke in the cockpit, loss of control inputs, engine overspeed and confusing indications. The author looks at how the flight crew were forced to handle ‘interactive complexity’ to recover the situation.
Old, but not outdated, these two documents from 1988 give an example of how trainers can develop scenario based, table-top exercises, to facilitate learning in non-technical skills.
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.
Mentour Pilot is a widely followed aviation YouTube channel that explains aircraft operations, industry procedures, accident/incident histories, and pilot life from an insider perspective. It is a rich source of case studies for CRM training because many episodes analyse real incidents where communication breakdowns, decision-making errors, situational awareness lapses, or teamwork dynamics played key roles.
Hosted by airline pilot and safety investigator Nicolaus Dmoch (M.Sc.), the Essence of Safety podcast takes deep dives into accident case studies to uncover the often overlooked underlying causes.
