Nonverbal Communication and Aircrew Coordination in Army Aviation: Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

The Army's Aircrew Coordination Training (ACT) programs emphasize the importance of verbal communications between crewmembers during mission execution. While this is a critical component of effective crew coordination, little attention has been directed towards the influence of nonverbal communication on effective crew coordination. Nonverbal communication transactions occur in the cockpit, but the extent to which they supplement verbal communication and their contribution to safe mission performance remain unclear. The report documents online research materials pertaining to (but not limited to) aircrew coordination, communication classification schemas, nonverbal communication (within aviation and other applicable fields), and team training. A review of the literature was conducted with the results compiled into a database containing the relevant articles, and a categorization schema for future research in nonverbal communication in cockpit environments was recommended.
