Acknowledging these similarities‚ these organisations have adopted aviation CRM to improve safety and enhance threat and error mitigation. This article will investigate the application of CRM and its variants within these organisations and discuss the benefits and limitations of its application. It is evident that CRM is an essential tool in improving

Federal‚ state‚ and private agencies continually work to gain and consolidate information regarding weather patterns and the effects it has in the aviation field. According to the National Transportation Safety Board safety studies‚ “The most common weather phenomena for fatal accidents were low cloud ceilings‚ fog‚ rain‚ and snow; nonfatal accidents‚ on the other hand‚ were dominated by accidents attributed to unfavorable wind.” (NTSB‚ 2005) Turbulence
