Six errors/failures associated with aircrew coordination:
1-failure of the pilot on the controls to properly direct assistance from other crewmembers
2-failure of a crewmember to announce a decision or action that affected the ability of other crewmembers to properly perform their duries
3-failure of a cremember to communicate positively (verbally and non-verbally)
4-failure of the pilot-in-command to assign crew responsibilities properly before and during the mission
5-failure of the pilot not on the controls or other crewmembers to offer assistance or information that was needed or had been requested previously by the P*
6-failure of the P* to execute flight actions in the proper sequence with the actions of the other crewmembers.
Changes made by the identification of hte six aircrew coordination errors/failures:
- Aircrew coordination incorporated into every ATM task
- Development of the annual aircrew coordination sustainment training
