RESILIENCE DEVELOPMENT
(a) The main aspects of resilience development can be described as the ability to:
(1) learn (‘knowing what has happened’);
(2) monitor (‘knowing what to look for’);
(3) anticipate (‘finding out and knowing what to expect’); and
(4) respond (‘knowing what to do and being capable of doing it’).
(b) Operational safety is a continuous process of evaluation of and adjustment to existing and
future conditions. In this context, and following the description in (a), resilience
development involves an ongoing and adaptable process including situation assessment,
self-review, decision and action. Training on resilience development enables crew
members to draw the right conclusions from both positive and negative experiences.
Based on those experiences, crew members are better prepared to maintain or create
safety margins by adapting to dynamic complex situations.
(c) The training topics in (f)(1) of AMC1 ORO.CC.115(e) are to be understood as follows:
