Speaking Up About a Hazard

A visual observer, junior to the remote PIC, sees a hazard the remote PIC has missed. What does good crew resource management expect?

  • A.The observer speaks up clearly and promptly, and the remote PIC takes the report seriously
  • B.The observer waits, because challenging the remote PIC undermines authority
  • C.The observer mentions it during the next scheduled break
Correct answer

A. The observer speaks up clearly and promptly, and the remote PIC takes the report seriously

Why

CRM depends on every crew member voicing safety concerns regardless of seniority. A culture where concerns are welcomed and heard prevents hazards seen by one person from being missed by the whole crew.
