Q

List the 5 CRM issues that are included in nearly every ASAP report

A

Unable to manage distractions

Inability to recognize task saturation and level

Non-specific WANT briefings that exclude key arrival procedure elements and go-around/missed approach planning

Briefing excludes key components preventing crew from having a shared mental model - especially during visual approaches.

Not holding other crewmembers accountable to the SOPM

116
Q

The FOM lists 4 tools to mitigate distraction.

A

Recognize a state of becoming distracted, verbalize the concern and request help to reduce task saturation and increase awareness.

Use task prioritazation to determine what can be delayed for a later time during lower workload period.

Use good planning during low workload periods to coordinate efficient efforts during high workload periods

First officers maintain a state of readiness to assume delegated responsibilities, as directed by the Captain.
