Situational Judgement Test

Read realistic cockpit and crew-room scenarios and judge how a professional flight crew would respond. A practice and reflection tool: after you commit, you compare your judgement with an expert reference and read the reasoning behind it. Play the classic format, or a chat presentation modelled on Aon's chatAssess.

Invulnerability“It won't happen to me.”
Macho“I can do it.”
Resignation“What's the use?”

CRM Scenarios

Work through evolving flight-deck situations in two or three steps. At each step you choose how to respond as a crewmember, then see how that response would land with the crew and which CRM principle is in play — authority gradient, closed-loop communication, PACE advocacy, shared mental model, workload management.
