How does effective CRM reconcile the remote PIC's final authority with input from the rest of the crew?
- A.The remote PIC decides alone and crew input is discouraged
- B.The remote PIC actively invites and weighs crew input, while retaining final responsibility for the decision
- C.The crew votes and the majority decision binds the remote PIC
Correct answer
B. The remote PIC actively invites and weighs crew input, while retaining final responsibility for the decision
Why
Authority and openness work together: the remote PIC remains accountable for the final call but makes a better one by using everything the crew sees. Discouraging input wastes the safety value of having a crew at all.
