Michael,
Don't your off the cuff examples relate to Workplace and surrounding area
safety management usually seen around clubs and airfields , not CRM which is
"cockpit related" between 2 pilots and the "personal service attendants"
down the back.
(Excluding the first example)
CRM in a 2 seater with 2 pilots co-flying on a long x-country - yes
CRM with a nubie pax in the front -maybe
CRM between a tug pilot and his need for food and water .....umm dunno

Subject: [Aus-soaring] CRM in Gliders
With the discussion about rogue pilots, safety cultures etc.
Do people ever consider how CRM (crew/cockpit resource management)
principles can be applied to gliding? CRM principles can also be applied
to single seat operations and passenger flights.
Principles underlying CRM include:
1. Awareness of how error occurs (the rror chain and the Reason Model)
2. Threat and error management
3. Culture
4. Crew Co-operation
5. Stress and fatigue management
6. Situational awareness
7. Communication and assertiveness
8. Automation
9. Decision making
10. Risk management
Some off the cuff examples:
Using your passenger on your passenger flight as a resource (e.g. extra
set of eyes for looking out). Or to put it another way, brief your
passenger to let you know about anything that may concern them. And for
you as a pilot not to instantly dismiss a passenger's concerns, they might
have spotted something you didn't!
Making sure the tug pilot has a regular break for food and fluid (even on
cold days).
Being able to speak up about a perceived safety threat to a more senior
and experienced pilot (or anyone, really).
And if you are that pilot spoken to, check waht the problem might be, not
just brush it off. And if you feel that the concern was not warranted,
educate in a constructive way!
Just some food for thought.
