Introduction to Glider Flying > Introduction to Glider Flying > Origins of ADM Training
The airlines developed some of the first training
programs that focused on improving ADM. H u m a n factors-related
accidents motivated the airline industry to implement crew resource
management (C R M ) training for flight crews. The focus of
CRM pro-grams is the effective use of all available resources—human
resources, hardware, and information. Human resources include
all groups routinely working with the cockpit crew (or pilot)
who are involved in decisions required to operate a flight safely.
These groups include, but are notlimited to: ground, maintenance,
and flight per-sonnel. Although the CRM concept originated as
airlines developed ways of facilitating crew coop-eration to
improve decision making in the cockpit, CRM principles, such
as workload management, situational awareness, communication,
the lead-ership role of the captain, and crewmember coor-dination
have direct application to the general aviation cockpit. This
also includes single pilot operations, since pilots of small
aircraft, as well as crews of larger aircraft, must make effective
use of all available resources—human resources, hardware,
and information. You can also refer to AC 60-22, Aeronautical
Decision Making, which provides background references, definitions,
and other pertinent information about ADM training in the general
aviation environment. [Figure 1-2]
