  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › RISK › Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Single-Pilot Resource Management

    Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Single-Pilot Resource Management While CRM focuses on pilots operating in crew environments, many of the concepts apply to single-pilot operations. Many CRM principles have been successfully applied to single-pilot aircraft ... development of Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM). SRM is defined as the art and science of managing all the resources (both on-board the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight…

  • Chapter 3: Human Factors › Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation

    Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation There are a number of controlled aircraft maneuvers a pilot can perform to experiment with spatial disorientation. While each maneuver normally creates a specific illusion, any false sensation is an effective demonstration of disorientation. Thus, even ... there is no sensation during any of these maneuvers, the absence of sensation is still an effective demonstration in that it shows the inability to detect bank or roll. There are several objectives in demonstrating these various maneuvers. 1. They…

  • Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Single-Pilot Resource Management

    Single-Pilot Resource Management Many of the concepts utilized in CRM have been successfully applied to single-pilot operations which led to the development of SRM. Defined as the art and science of managing all the resources (both on board ... aircraft and from outside resources) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight), SRM helps to ensure the successful outcome of the flight. As mentioned earlier, this includes risk management, situational awareness (SA), and CFIT awareness. SRM training…

  • Chapter 3: Human Factors › Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation › Diving or Rolling Beyond the Vertical Plane

    instructor pilot is doing the flying, but having the pilot do the flying can also be a very effective demonstration. The pilot should close his or her eyes and tilt their head to one side. The instructor pilot tells ... spatial disorientation illusions in a device, such as a Barany chair, a Vertigon, or a Virtual Reality Spatial Disorientation Demonstrator. 2. Always obtain and understand preflight weather briefings. 3. Before flying in marginal visibility (less than 3 miles) or where…

  • Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight › Single-Pilot Resource Management

    Single-Pilot Resource Management Single-pilot resource management (SRM) specifically refers to appropriate management of all resources available to the single pilot. SRM includes competencies such as situational awareness, communication skills, teamwork, task allocation, aeronautical decision-making, risk management, controlled ... Resources are found both inside and outside the aircraft. Many of the concepts are similar to crew resource management (CRM). 12350 Learning to recognize these resources is an essential part of SRM. In addition, a pilot should evaluate whether there…
