Whither CRM? Future directions in Crew Resource Management training in the cockpit and elsewhere

Abstract

Verbatim from NASA NTRS. Not paraphrased, not summarized.

The shift in name from cockpit to crew reflects a growing trend to extend the training to other components of the aviation system including flight attendants, dispatchers, maintenance personnel, and Air Traffic Controllers. The paper reports findings and new directions in research into human factors.
