Crew Resource Management (CRM) is about communication, team work and decision-making in the cockpit to keep flights safe. It helps pilots work together smoothly, reducing mistakes caused by human error, reduce misunderstandings, and preventing errors that could compromise flight safety.
In the flight deck, CRM ensures clear communication between the Captain and First Officer, so they understand each other and follow the same plan. Pilots share responsibilities—one flies while the other monitors systems and talks to air traffic control. They use checklists, discuss decisions, and stay aware of their surroundings. If a problem arises, they work together calmly to find the safest solution. CRM keeps flights organized and safe.
