- Abstract
Culture is one of the important factors that affect communication and cockpit resource management (CRM). The paper presents two main theories of cultural studies, respectively is Edward T Hall's high-context culture and low-context culture and Hofstede's cultural dimensions, and then analyzes the culture's influence factors of communication from the two theories. This paper studies the characteristics of Chinese culture and compares the cultural differences between east and west, and then analyzes the main communication characteristics of Chinese pilots in the cockpit from the following four aspects: harmony, relationship, face and power. Finally, from the perspective of culture, the corresponding suggestions to reduce the effects of culture on communication of the cockpit are given. Related research is of great significance to improve flight safety.
