Every pilot knows safety depends on monitoring the aircraft's flight path and systems. What might not be obvious is that to ensure the highest levels of safety, each flight crewmember must also actively cross-check the actions of each cockpit colleague. These crew monitoring and cross-checking functions can literally be the last line of defense; when a crewmember can catch an error or unsafe act, this detection may break the chain of events leading to an accident. U.S. National Transportation Safety Board study of crew-caused air carrier accidents found that inadequate monitoring was a factor in 31 of the 37 accidents analyzed. |
