The acronym CRM stands for _____.

• A. Cockpit Resource Management
• B. Crew Resource Management
• C. Customer Resource Management
• D. Coalition Resource Management

Answer: (B)

CRM stands for Crew Resource Management. It’s about using all available resources—people, information, equipment, and the environment—to fly safely. In UAS operations, this means the pilot, sensor operator, ground crew, and others communicate clearly, share situational awareness, divide tasks, and challenge assumptions when needed, so errors are caught and workload is manageable. The term is the standard in aviation and UAS contexts; other options map to different ideas: Cockpit Resource Management would imply only the cockpit team and isn’t the standard term; Customer Resource Management is about managing relationships with customers; Coalition Resource Management isn’t a recognized term in this field.
