Abstract

Approximately 48% of Army aviation accidents are attributed to human factors, making it the most significant cause of these incidents. Army aviation helicopter pilots are composed of both officers and warrant officers, yet there is a lack of prior research specifically focused on leadership within this group. Additionally, studies examining the impact of leadership on Crew Resource Management (CRM) within Army aviation are also scarce. Due to differences in leadership training, it is expected that there will be distinct differences in empowering leadership between officers and warrant officers piloting Army helicopters, and that differences in flight experience will lead to varying CRM competencies based on flight qualifications. This study aims to identify the differences in empowering leadership between officers and warrant officers, analyze the differences in CRM competencies based on flight qualifications, and predict how empowering leadership influences their CRM competencies.
