Does Crew Coordination Behavior Impact Performance?

Abstract
It has been well established that human error and poor management of cockpit resources contribute to aircraft accidents. For this reason, there has been a recent proliferation of aircrew coordination training programs, yet the effectiveness of these programs has not been shown definitively. The present investigation demonstrated the link between crew coordination behavior and mission effectiveness, thus supporting the continued development of programs aimed at training aircrew coordination skills. The results further suggest that interventions concentrate on pilot coordination skills, since these skills appear to be most important to mission performance.
