The analyses of the aircraft accidents across all of the world, including Korea, reported that 70 % of the accidents could be attributed to the faults of pilots' human factors. It implied that the aircraft accidents could be cut down remarkably if the pilots' faults were reduced. In this context, the purpose of the study were to explore and reduce the problems of authoritarian job performance in the cockpit operation of which mainly depended on the captain, though it was supposed that two or more pilots work together as a team. In relation to this, the current worldwide trend of pilot education had tended to emphasize education on the human factors of pilots since the strong recommendation of the International Civil Aviation Organization in the 1980's. From the educational dimension of the pilots, it was attempted to explore a new educational perspective which would enhance the flight crew's performance of the cockpit through improving the courses of the pilot education curriculum and the teaching-learning methods.
