The article examines issues related to the effectiveness of CRM in preventing aviation accidents. Modern civil aviation demands extremely high standards of flight safety, which necessitates the improvement of the methodological foundation for crew resource management. Despite the widespread implementation of relevant mechanisms, unresolved challenges remain that are directly linked to the effectiveness of various training methods, the role of technological innovations, and the impact of the human factor. Some studies emphasize the particular importance of digitalization and the integration of artificial intelligence into decision-making processes, while others focus on enhancing traditional interpersonal skills within the crew. These contradictions require detailed analysis. The study aims to investigate the efficacy of CRM in the context of preventing aviation accidents, taking into account the different approaches applied by airlines. Key aspects addressed include the role of meteorological data, the implementation of virtual reality and artificial intelligence in training programs, and the human and organizational determinants that shape the successful application of CRM. It is concluded that the effectiveness of CRM depends not only on the quality of crew training but also on the systematic integration of technological solutions, training methodologies, and organizational culture. The author’s contribution is evident in the formulation of recommendations regarding the development of training programs. The results will be useful for airlines, aviation training centers, developers of simulation technologies, and safety professionals.
