Crew Resource Management (CRM) Course

Our new one-day Crew Resource Management (CRM) facilitation course is led by our qualified instructors who have a wealth of military and civilian experience delivering aviation related courseware. In the constantly evolving field of RPAS, being able to fully harness the capabilities of your organisation, in potentially challenging environments,will ensure that you are actively mitigating a well-documented aviation safety risk, further strengthening your position in the market.  

Why do CRM training? 

Following the recent release of the UK Specific Operations Risk Assessment framework (or UK SORA) under the CAA, there is now a clear requirement to fully understand and mitigate the risk to air safety caused by a failing in Human Factors (HF) and/or Crew Resource Management (CRM). These are intrinsically linked as a core component of Operational Safety Objectives (OSOs) within SORA and the new Remote Pilot Competence (RPC) framework, enabling Remote Pilots, organisations, and risk owners to actively mitigate this clearly articulated risk in aviation. Our Mastering UK SORA for Drone Operations course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the entire step-by-step process.

As RPAS complexity continues to develop at pace, with multi-crew operations becoming the norm, the need to strengthen this essential safety aspect of RPAS flying has never been more critical. 

The new EEI RPAS CRM course will introduce you to this wide-ranging subject area, expanding on the core aspects in a facilitative manner and actively encouraging peer discussion amongst the group. The course covers the following topics:  

  • Human Interaction  
  • Stress Management  
  • Fatigue Management  
  • Factors Affecting Crew Performance  
  • Information Processing  
  • Error Management  
  • Situational Awareness  
  • Workload Management  
  • Decision Making

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is CRM?Reveal

    CRM, or Crew Resource Management, is a set of training procedures and strategies focused on communication, decision-making, leadership, and teamwork to optimise human performance and reduce error in high-risk environments like aviation and RPAS operations.

    Why is CRM so important in RPAS operations?Reveal

    Even in remotely piloted environments, human factors remain a critical risk. CRM helps RPAS operators, pilots, and supporting crew work more effectively as a team, enhancing situational awareness, reducing errors, and ultimately improving safety and mission success.

    How does CRM link into SORA?Reveal

    CRM supports several aspects of the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) process by strengthening operational safety through effective risk identification, mitigation, and human performance management.

    Is this a remote course?Reveal

    No, this is a facilitated in-person course, where your engagement is critical to maximising the benefit, ensuring we all learn from each other.

    Testimonials

    1. Great training and very well presented, Tim was a awesome trainer and presented everything very professionally. RNLI

    2. Ian (Gally) did an amazing job teaching our group! He made the course fun and had lots of time and patience. Learned a lot and feel confident flying. Thank you so much. Can’t recommend Eagle Eye Innovations highly enough. Zeta Closed Student

    3. Ian quickly delivered the one day course in a style and at a pace that was relevant to the students. Very credible and could relate military experience to our operational requirements. He was also able to give pragmatic solutions and advice around some of the grey areas of legislation and emergency service use which was very helpful. Thames Valley Police

    4. The instruction from Steve and Gally was excellent.  They understood the need to translate the course content into a practical way that we as Kent Fire & Rescue Service will us it. I  believe all the content was covered and as a candidate I gained confidence at flying using the hand held screen and camera. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone getting involved with any drone activities. Kent Fire and Rescue Service

    5. I really enjoyed the course and both instructors Tim and Matt made learning fun which helped with me passing the course. I had very little knowledge of drone legislation or flying prior to the course so it shows the high quality of teaching which helped me gain my golden wings and gain a 100% score. Zeta Central Student

    6. An outstanding week of training, both theory and practical flying. Extremely knowledgeable and approachable instructors who made the learning as easy and efficient as possible. This has prepared me extremely well for my RPAS job role. Zeta Central Student
