While many welcome the operational efficiency that AI can offer in aviation, a more profound question is emerging: What happens when systems become smarter, but the humans within those systems are left behind?

Why do we need CCRI™?

Because aviation measures almost everything — fuel flow, fatigue, flight time — except resilience.
The Crew Cognitive Resilience Index (CCRI™) introduces a measurable way to assess how crews sustain cognition and decision accuracy when automation is degraded or uncertain.

Data from CCRI™ could redefine training priorities.

If we can quantify how pilots recover attention and adapt to automation drift, we can target training where it matters most, improving both efficiency and resilience.

AI will not replace human judgment but it will demand better trust calibration.

When pilots over- or under-trust automation, cognitive resilience erodes.

CCRI™ measures that trust dynamic and identifies where training must focus.

In highly automated cockpits, pilots remain the last adaptive layer of safety. But their agency depends on how systems share information, timing, and feedback. Crew Cognitive Resilience (CCRI™) helps map where that balance breaks and how it can be rebuilt.

#Automation and #AI are changing how we fly, but also how we think.

#CCRI™ explores how pilots adapt when control shifts, when trust is tested, and when intelligent systems behave in unexpected ways.

Because safety isn’t a property of the machine, it’s an emergent property of the system.

How do we ensure that aviation crews remain not only competent but also cognitively resilient in environments increasingly shaped by automation and artificial intelligence?

The Crew Cognitive Resilience Index (CCRI™) gives us a measurable way to see how crews think, adapt, and recover under pressure.
When you know a comparative index, you know where to focus your energy — and how to make training more purposeful, efficient, and resilient.

FAA gives Boeing all-clear to raise 737 Max production

The Federal Aviation Administration has cleared Boeing to increase 737 Max production to 42 planes per month, up from a previous cap of 38.

Automation doesn’t erase human error — it reshapes it.

CCRI™ explores that shifting boundary between human judgment and system logic.

One of our key tools? #STPA — Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis.

It helps us trace unsafe control actions, degraded crew roles, and cognitive blind spots.

It’s not just a technical map. It’s a story of human resilience in complex systems.

Naveed @naveedkapadia.bsky.social · 17d

Trust in automation can break in two directions:
under-reliance: constantly second-guessing the system
over-reliance: missing subtle system drift

CCRI™ looks at both — and maps the breakdown before the breakdown.

Naveed @naveedkapadia.bsky.social · 17d

Automation isn’t the problem.
It’s our relationship to it.

CCRI™ is exploring what happens when trust is misplaced, decisions are delayed, and minds freeze under pressure.

What if we could train for cognitive agility?

If you work in simulation, pilot training, aviation psychology, systems thinking — this may speak to you.
Collaboration welcome.
Open to dialogue, data partnerships, and discussion.

Naveed @naveedkapadia.bsky.social · 18d

Simulators give us scenarios.
CCRI™ gives us insight — into how pilots think under pressure, switch modes, calibrate trust, and recover control.

This isn’t about perfect flying.
It’s about resilient thinking.

Naveed @naveedkapadia.bsky.social · 18d

We’ve measured fuel efficiency, delays, CRM errors, fatigue…
But what if the next big metric in aviation is resilience?

Not just physical, but cognitive.
Not just recovery, but adaptation.

That’s what CCRI™ is here to explore.
