CRM
Just looking to get some pointers on what elements are most crucial while flying in the Part 91 environment. I understand communication (I.E one PIC) but what other elements do you find critical to great CRM?

- Buckle up
- Hold my drink
- Don't touch anything
- Take the fat one
Kidding aside..
To answer your question, context is everything, ie the type of aircraft you're flying. Other than splitting comms and flying, I wouldn't divide it any further when flying very simple light GA aircraft. It also helps to have a game plan as to whom will fly and who will read out the checklist if an emergency develops.

Delineation of duties, including emergency duties before the emergency occurs.
In addition to talking, you can have the "FO" manage the GPS/FMS, or read the chart and tune/ID nav radios depending on the type of operation and equipment available.
If operating IFR, define in advance what the threshold is for calling out deviations from course, GS, etc. Too many reminders at too low a threshold is annoying and distracting, but too few too late is not good either.
