In this blog, I attempt to write about the concept of Crew Resource Management (CRM), a training pilots are mandated to take. Why is CRM so important and can it have any significance to us people who do not fly planes?

The story of Qantas 32
The story of Qantas flight 32 is a remarkable one. The plane did not crash but there are so many lessons to learn from the cockpit. I pick out one in this blog.
The story of Air France 447
Air France 447 was an accident in June 2009. The sequence of events leading to have led to the accident is believed to have began when a pitot tube - a small tube that helps in measuring a plane's speed - froze. Are there any lessons here?
When the end draws nigh
The four plane crashes on 9/11 are probably the most famous in history. United Airlines Flight 93 is likely the least known of these 4 crashes but it is a story of courage and brevity. I reflect on the request of one man on this flight. Can we learn anything from it?
