MANAGE and RECOVER
Underlying beliefs for Threat and Error Management to work
• Identifying and managing threats is a core part of
the Cabin Crew role.
- They may be expected (anticipated) or unexpected
(unanticipated)
• Errors should not be punished, but rather
expected and managed.
- Managing errors is part of the Cabin Crew role
• Cabin Crew are an integral part of the System.
- What I do matters! It’s up to me!
Behaviour for effective TEM
• Preparation, Anticipation, Communication
• If it is not possible to follow an exact procedure, follow the intent of the procedure
• Chronic unease – not complacent
• Actively managing and maintaining situational awareness
Attitudes towards Threat and Error Management
Sometimes errors happen, fortunately the crew caught it
and managed it effectively.
They managed to catch it before anyone was hurt but why
didn’t they avoid the situation altogether?
