Thread: Threat and error management

Indeed, Whopity, thank you so much for your enlightening comment. Now, do you have something useful to offer our colleague, or do you just enjoy showing off just how clever you are with a bit of name-dropping?

Hi Rob, Anything you could forward to me on the subject would be great! Thanks heaps! CRG

University of Texas used to be one of the leaders in this area. Do a Google on their name under threat and error management and you will gain some useful info. Else wise by googling "airmanship", and T & EM you will be linked to lots of useful material. Another useful author is Dr Tony Kern. His most recent text ' redefining Airmanship', is used as reference by a few of the Uni's teaching this subject....

Try the CASA website for starters: http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:PWA: c=PC_93177 Maybe you should ask your flight school for a reimbursement of your additional exam fees, or threaten to put their name on PPRuNe.

Any school worth its AOC should be very well aware of the changes to this subject's material, CASA have issued many notices of its inclusion right down to PPL level and quite frankly if that wasn't communicated to you thats completely unacceptable. Mind you had you checked your CAO you will find a list of all the required knowledge as per the syllabus for each subject.

Quote: TEM is a relatively new concept in the world of flight safety Actually its not new it was invented by Smith-Barry in 1917 and has generally been known as Airmanship. TEM is simply psychobabble for what has been there for most of the history of aviation.
