What is a CRM Course in aviation?

CRM (Crew Resource Management) is a critical concept and training program within the aviation industry. CRM is not a standalone course, but a broader training approach designed to enhance communication, teamwork, decision-making, and overall crew coordination.

The topics dealt with in a CRM course include, but are not limited to, effective communication, teamwork, decision-making, situational awareness, threat and error management, and leadership.

What are the EASA requirements for Crew Resource Management trainers?

In 2022 EASA updated their policy on what it requires to be a flight crew CRM trainer. NaviMinds naturally complies with all the latest requirements:

“(1) The operator should evaluate the experience and knowledge of the flight crew CRM trainer. The evaluation of the operator should include at least: 

 (i) The operational experience of the flight crew CRM trainer as a flight crew member; 

 (ii) Whether this experience as a flight crew member or a former flight crew member covers the aircraft category, the aircraft generation and the form of operations, as relevant to the operator.” 

 – EASA AMC2.ORO.FC.146 

We ensure these qualifications are met to make it as easy for you as possible to stay compliant. Certified and experienced former or current flight crew members are “lead” trainers on all our CRMT/CRMI courses.

How long is a CRM Trainer core course?

A CRMT Core course must be completed over 5 days (40 hours) of training.
