title: Exploring flight crew behaviour.
abstract: A programme of research into the determinants of flight crew performance in commercial and military aviation is described, along with limitations and advantages associated with the conduct of research in such settings.  Preliminary results indicate significant relationships among personality factors, attitudes regarding flight operations, and crew performance.  The potential theoretical and applied utility of the research and directions for further research are discussed.
