• Abstract:
  This report presents the findings of a study designed with two objectives: to produce a prototype performance ; measurement instrument (PMI) that integrates the assessment of Crew Resource Management (CRM) and technical flying ; skills and to investigate the suitability of the Critical Decision method (CDM) for eliciting expert information ; concerning performance measurement. The work was funded by the FAA in support of the Advanced Qualification Program ; (AQP) and conducted in cooperation with a major U.S. carrier. The researchers used CDM to identify critical components ; of performance assessment for specific flight tasks and developed a prototype PMI. The instrument contains two sections ; for each task. One section allows an evaluator to record significant pilot and crew behaviors observed; the second ; section allows the evaluator to provide a subjective assessment of pilot and crew proficiency. The researchers ; pretested the instrument and made revisions based on recommendations from experienced instructors. The researchers then ; evaluated the PMI with eight instructors observing a total of 16 different flight crews in recurrent training, ; performing a standard Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) scenario in a flight simulator. The instructors reliably and ; accurately employed the PMI to assess performance of the crew and the individual pilot. The authors recommended that ; AQP developers use Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) techniques to develop training programs for cognitive and team tasks.
