  2. Pilot fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_fatigue

    Implementation of fatigue prediction models, such as the Sleep, Activity, Fatigue, and Task Effectiveness model, optimize scheduling by being able to predict pilot fatigue at any point in time. Although the mathematical model is limited by individual pilot differences it is the most accurate existing prediction because it takes into account ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_fatigue_on_safety

    Source: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration [1] Fatigue is a major safety concern in many fields, but especially in transportation, because fatigue can result in disastrous accidents. Fatigue is considered an internal precondition for unsafe acts because it negatively affects the human operator's internal state. Research has generally ...

    Five major sources of environmental stress affect pilots. In aviation, a source of stress that comes from the environment is known as an environmental stressor. [1] Stress is defined as a situation, variable, or circumstance that interrupts the normal functioning of an individual and, most of the time, causes a threat. [2]
