What this covers

Sample questions

What is crew resource management?

  1. Rotating the crew between positions so that nobody becomes fatigued
  2. Assigning every task to the remote pilot in command to avoid confusion
  3. Making effective use of all available people, equipment and information
  4. Keeping the crew as small as possible to cut down on communication
Show the answer

C. Making effective use of all available people, equipment and information

Crew resource management is the effective use of all available resources (human, hardware and information) before and during flight. Loading every task onto one person is the opposite of the idea.

Reference: FAA-H-8083-25, Chapter 2; FAA AC 107-2A

  4. Everyone signs a liability form before the first takeoff

A. Everyone knows their role, the hazards and the emergency plan
