I want to recommend Mike Taylor's new book, Proactive Flying. Rather than another academic look on CRM, it truly is a pilot's guide to the practical application of these essential skills. I would call it a how-to book-a pilot's book written by a pilot for pilots. Captain Warren Travis, Instructor Coordinator/Advisor, Commercial Aviation, The University of Memphis Air Crew techniques that were theorized, adapted, and ultimately implemented because of Mike's efforts have helped make today's Aviation Safety performance the best in history. If that's what you're looking for, this iconic book is an excellent and definitive roadmap to get there. Captain E.M. Thompson, major airline Chief Pilot & Director of Operations Mike distills CRM to a set of simple building blocks, enabling safe , legal , reliable flight operations. In an industry where much can go wrong very quickly, this comprehensive text informs aeronautical decision making for flight crew new to the industry, as well as seasoned professionals. James Kromberg, FAA DER Flight Test Pilot, ATP.

"""After years of teaching CRM courses, I was looking for a fresh way to present CRM/TEM to young prospective pilots, soon-to-be crewmembers, and, ultimately, someday, Captains. The more Proactive Flying I read, the more I realized what I was missing by not emphasizing the core elements of self-awareness, preparation, and proficiency. Captain Mike Taylor has produced a must-read manual for anyone that wants to build a foundation of professionalism based on these principles."" Neal Bloomquist, Kansas State CRM Instructor, Retired United Airlines Pilot/Instructor ""Proactive Flying stands out as an unparalleled text on Crew Resource Management, offering practical applications for flight crew cockpit communications, aeronautical decision making, leadership, and situational awareness. Written in clear and accessible language, the book reflects Captain Taylor's passion for aviation safety and shares invaluable insights from his years of leadership experience. Having used Captain Taylor's excellent textbook as a guideline for teaching several college-level CRM courses, I have witnessed its effectiveness in providing my students with a solid foundation of skills necessary for a successful aviation career."" Sheri Marshall MAS/ATP/CFII, Aviation Education Faculty, South Dakota State University ""Captain Taylor's Proactive Flying ushers in the next generation of CRM. The fundamental mindsets addressed in this book facilitate the continued level of professionalism that is expected in the aviation community and deserved by the flying public. As educators of aviation, we are intrinsically tasked with the responsibility to elevate the qualitative nature of the aviators that we produce. Doing so consequently elevates the industry's future flight crewmember professionalism. Adopting this book and making it the backbone of my CRM course has been categorically accepted by the students and I very quickly witnessed an elevated level of self-situation awareness within my students throughout the entirety of the read and the newly formatted course."" Timothy J. Compton, Assistant Director of Aviation Sciences, Baylor Institute for Air Sciences"
