CCRI™

CCRI™ CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The Crew Cognitive Resilience Index (CCRI™) is a developing conceptual framework designed to support the structured examination of pilot cognitive resilience in modern flight operations.

Rather than representing a single score or ranking, the CCRI™ is intended to capture multiple interacting dimensions of human performance within a systems context.

What CCRI™ Is

A research framework, not a performance grading tool
Systems-informed rather than procedure-centric
Focused on adaptation, decision-making, and cognitive control as they emerge from human–automation teaming
Designed to support research, not operational judgement

What CCRI™ Is Not

Not a published metric or commercial product
Not a pilot assessment or certification tool
Not a substitute for training or regulatory oversight

The CCRI™ remains under active development. Measurement structures, scoring logic, and validation processes are not publicly available at this stage.

Working Together on Cognitive Resilience

Advancing aviation safety requires collaboration across research, operations, and regulation. This work welcomes dialogue with researchers, airline training teams, and regulatory bodies interested in contributing perspective on cognitive resilience, human–automation interaction, and adaptive performance in complex flight systems. Engagement at this stage is focused on conceptual exchange and shared learning, with the longer-term aim of supporting safer, more resilient, and human-centred aviation operations worldwide.
