Facilitating LOS Debriefings: A Training Manual - Phoenix Aviation

Criteria for Effective Crew Participation
In order to determine the appropriate level of facilitation to use,
you need to be aware of how capable the crewmembers are of
participating. The following criteria can be used to determine what
level is appropriate for each crew at various times during the
debriefing. If the crewmembers meet all of these criteria, high-level
facilitation is best. If not, intermediate- or low-level facilitation may
need to be used.
✈ Crewmembers analyze in depth their LOS performance,
discussing the situations they confronted, what they did to
manage the situations, and why they made the decisions and
performed the actions they did.
✈ Crewmembers evaluate in depth their LOS performance,
discussing what went well, what did not go well, and how their
performance could have been improved.
✈ Crewmembers discuss how CRM techniques helped them
manage or could have helped them manage the situations they
encountered in the LOS.
✈ Crewmembers address each other directly and interactively
discuss the LOS rather than merely respond to your direction.
Criteria for Effective Instructor Facilitation
014 - LOS Debriefing Guide
Your effectiveness in facilitating the debriefing can be measured
according to the following criteria:
✈ You facilitate the crew discussion at the highest level possible,
guiding the discussion only to the extent necessary to help the
crew accomplish the objectives of the debriefing.
✈ You modify the level of your facilitation to accommodate the
crew’s needs throughout the debriefing. If the crew does not
need guidance, you refrain from interfering with crew
discussion. If the crew needs guidance, you use intermediatelevel
strategies to elicit continued and/or deeper discussion and
revert to low-level facilitation only if necessary to ensure
important lessons are learned.
✈ You ensure that the crewmembers analyze their performance in
depth, identify CRM techniques that played or should have
played a role in the LOS, and discuss the LOS with each other in
an interactive way.
✈ You ensure that all critical topics are covered.
