CRM.....did the FAA change the name?

"Keep Each Other From Doing Something Dumb!" Works just as well as any other fancy abbreviation made up by somebody in a government cubicle trying to justify his existence.
 
I dunno, but I'm a victim of CRS.

*can't remember sheet :D

Yeah, but the modern version - "cockpit resource management" isn't about that. It includes single-pilot ops.

Although I have no idea what @kgruber is asking, unless it's that change or that that CRM has been so traditionally associated with "crew" that it didn't make sense to apply it to single-pilot ops and they started going with multiple acronyms. I've seen CRM continue to be used as "crew" but also SRM ("single-pilot resource management") and a few others here and there.

Heck, what would we do without acronyms? We might actually learn something other than spitting out words by rote. That would be awful!

Speaking of acronyms, foes this forum have a sticky of all the acronyms we use? I had seen one on another site (I forget it now, might have been a jeep forum). Not that anybody would use it, because who reads the sticky's anyways!
 
CRM originally was "COCKPIT resource management". Several years ago they changed it to "crew".
 
So, CRM has always been CRM.... in the 1980's many airlines were replacing the term "cockpit" with "flight deck or flight station," wonder if that had any bearing on it?

Change from Cockpit to Crew was based on the fact that not all of the human resources are in the cockpit.
