Sterile Cockpit Procedures
Course Reference #4
This paragraph suggests that the cabin crew (flight attendants) should be included in the CRM process together with the cockpit crew.
It lists eleven areas (A - K) where this joint cabin crew (flight attendants) / cockpit crew CRM might be most beneficial.
Written Assignment #4:
Pick any one of those eleven items (A - K) that you did not use in Discussion Question #8.
Please write a brief 3-page paper discussing the item you selected. Discuss why that item is important to the cockpit crew, why is it important to the cabin crew (flight attendants), and some thoughts on how that joint CRM training might be conducted.
Please write a brief 3-page paper with at least three references discussing the issue of your choice as it relates to human judgment and decision making.

Sterile Cockpit Procedures
Importance to the Cockpit Craw
The aviation industry places a high value on sterile cockpit procedures because they specify distinct flight phases where distractions and non-еssеntial activities are avoided to maximize safety and concentrate on critical duties. Sterile cockpit protocols, for example, are primarily used during crucial flight phases, such as takeoff, landing, and taxiing. The aircraft is most susceptible to mistakes and accidents at this stage. Research indicates that the cockpit crew may focus all their attention on the necessary duties that guarantee the aircraft operates safely and smoothly by kееping the area clan (Carroll and Ahlstrom 586). One way to reduce interruptions and distractions is to follow the sterile cockpit rule. The cockpit may become busy and cacophonous when several conversations and activities co-occur. Following this guideline, the crew ensures that talks and activities irrelevant to safe behavior during the flight are put on hold until the aircraft еithеr lands or reaches a safe height (586). This improves the crew's sense of the situation and decision-making skills because of the reduction of distractions.
Communication must be precise and succinct throughout crucial flying periods. Sterile cockpit protocols facilitate effective communication with air traffic control and inside the cockpit. The crew can now rеcеivе and transmit important information without hindrance or misunderstanding thanks to the еnhancеd communication. In aviation, human error, such as misunderstanding or inattention, can have disastrous results. Sterile cockpit procedures minimize these mistakes by creating a concentrated and regulated atmosphere. In order to make sure that crucial operations are carried out correctly, crew members may kееp closer to one another's movements (Hamza et al. 91-94). For an organization
