How does Crew Resource Management (CRM) — a core aviation principle — apply to drone teams in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry? In this episode, host Chris Breedlove welcomes Aaron Varnau from WithersRavenel to explore the real-world application of CRM in daily drone operations.

Aaron shares his journey from studying Unmanned Aerial Systems at Purdue to coordinating remote sensing crews.
He breaks down how CRM helps teams:
-Avoid costly mistakes through clear roles and communication
-Manage high-stress drone missions (like flying near manned aircraft)
-Stay safe and effective in extreme conditions like summer heat
-Maintain checklists, battery care, flight logs, and airspace coordination
-Train new pilots for field readiness — not just test scores

* We apologize for the audio quality issues on the host's side.
