This review is from: Flightdeck Performance: The Human Factor (Paperback)

This book analyses accidents from an aviation psychology standpoint. It is clearly and logically written with a good portion of humor. The concept of Cockpit Resource Management, CRM, is discussed in detail. Highly recommended for any pilot or anyone interested in aviation.
