Crew Pulse Check
A clearer picture of working conditions in aerial firefighting.
Crew Pulse Check helps civilian aerial-firefighting operators understand how their people experience specific working conditions across a season, including workload, support, role clarity, fatigue and recovery, and the ability to raise concerns.
Six defined working-condition areas.
Workload and predictability
Work demands, pace, and how predictable the work feels.
Control over work
The degree of control people feel they have over how they carry out their responsibilities.
Management support
Whether people feel supported by those responsible for leading their work.
Peer support and working relationships
Day-to-day working relationships and support among colleagues.
Role clarity
Whether responsibilities and expectations are clear.
Organizational change
How changes at work are communicated and experienced.
Aviation-specific questions also explore fatigue and recovery, and the ability to raise concerns about working conditions.
What Operators Receive
- A summary of responses across the areas assessed
- Patterns in reported working conditions that may warrant further attention
- Written comments, where they can be reported without compromising confidentiality
- A concise findings summary and discussion
Crew Pulse Check identifies patterns in the areas measured. It does not independently determine whether an operator is safe or unsafe, evaluate overall organizational effectiveness, or prescribe operational changes.

Crew Pulse Check is designed to help aerial-firefighting operators understand how their people experience specific working conditions across a season.
Aviation Conversations is responsible for administering the assessment and analyzing responses to identify patterns in the areas measured. Operators receive summarized findings to inform discussion and determine where further attention may be useful. Data-handling arrangements and reporting safeguards will be established before the assessment opens.
Crew Pulse Check is not a mental health assessment, diagnostic tool, individual performance evaluation, or comprehensive organizational audit.
