About me
Hello,
My name is Cristian Mandu, and I'm an A320 TRI/TRE, CRM trainer, and a passionate advocate for practical human factors. I've accumulated around 10,000 flight hours and over 1000 simulator training and checking hours, working for a major airline in Europe and in the Middle East. About 2,000 of those hours are on the B737 and the rest on the A320 family. In addition to my aviation expertise, I hold a Master's degree in Human Factors and System Safety, and a Bachelor's degree in classical music, violin performance. I am currently a PhD student, researching ways to develop resilience in pilot training.
I strongly believe that by providing more practical training on human factors, pilots can better understand their needs, abilities, and limitations during stressful situations, and learn how to use simple tools to develop their resilience. This can help them perform at their best under challenging circumstances during simulator checks and in real life.
Through this platform, I aim to share my observations and experiences as a TRI/TRE and address specific sim challenges, anchored on a unique, practical approach to understanding and managing stress that can help pilots improve their performance during any simulator check.
