Default Marks of an Airman

http://www.uscg.mil/safety/docs/CRM/Ten_Marks.pdf

I read this article a long time ago and after re-reading it recently, I figured I'd share it with you guys/gals.

The author, Tony Kern, also has a book called "Darker Shades of Blue: The Rogue Pilot" that I read an excerpt from while in new hire training and it was very good as well. It followed the same lines as the above article but continued along those lines with how the system, the industry, and us as individual pilots can purge out rogue pilot behavior from our midst. I can't find that part for free anywhere online but I was probably gonna pick the book up anyways.

Enjoy

Tony's written many books, all on the same basic theme.

Here's some of them listed on Amazon:

Amazon.com: Tony Kern: Books

I have read the first one listed, Redefining Airmanship, many years ago (written in 1997 I think). It's pretty good but goes very deep, 450 pages or so, with lots of detail on lots of accidents. If you just read the 22 pages posted above, you'll get the general theme of his books.

"Don't be stupid, and don't be lazy".

It should be required reading for any newbie, and a good refresher for you old farts who may think you know everything as well. The older I get, the more I know I don't know!
