Low-Level Crew Resource Management
The Flying in the Wire and Obstructions Environment - Low-Level Crew Resource Management course has been designed from the ground up for aircraft and crews that work and operate specifically at lower levels. It looks at the similarities shared across all CRM teams, but also the many differences and unique communications skills needed by low-level crews to operate safely close to the ground that either are not necessary or do not apply to crews operating at altitude.
Airlines operate from point to point in a highly controlled environment and their CRM is centered around communications to manage all of the risks and hazards associated with that environment.
Low-level crew interaction is much more complex and demanding and their CRM must take into account the many differences brought about by the ever changing job-specific hazards and all of their associated mission-specific communications. Flight critical communications that low-level pilots routinely need come from crewmembers who are non-pilots or are part of their very crucial ground support team.
The course is highly interesting and educational as it walks your crews through all the unique experiences and necessary communication skill sets needed to operate in the low-level environment.
Summary of course contents (slight changes may occur due to audience needs):
