FACILITATING LOFT DEBRIEFINGS: INSTRUCTOR TECHNIQUES AND CREW PARTICIPATION

This research studied techniques that instructor pilots (IPs) use to facilitate crew analysis and evaluation of line-oriented flight training performance. The authors analyzed IP facilitation and crew participation for 36 debriefing sessions conducted at 5 U.S. airlines. The authors also developed a rating instrument termed the Debriefing Assessment Battery and demonstrated that it can be used reliably. IP facilitation skill varied dramatically, suggesting a need for solid hands-on training in facilitation techniques. All measures of crew participation correlated significantly with IP effectiveness in facilitation. Flight crews responded to IP guidance but did not lead their own debriefings. Ways to improve debriefing effectiveness are suggested.
