Which of the following is NOT listed as a CRM/TEM skill?

• A. Public Speaking
• B. Communication
• C. Situation Awareness
• D. Planning and Decision Making

Answer: (A)

CRM/TEM skills are about how the crew works together to keep safety at the forefront: clear, precise communication; constant awareness of the situation around the flight; and thoughtful planning and decision making to handle evolving conditions and mitigate threats or errors. Public speaking, while valuable in many roles, isn’t part of those daily safety-focused abilities. It’s about delivering presentations to groups, whereas CRM/TEM centers on how crew members interact, share information, anticipate issues, and choose and implement courses of action. The other listed skills—communication, situation awareness, and planning and decision making—are all essential components of effective CRM/TEM.
