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 ...
The accident was the first to eventually precipitate the sterile cockpit rule. January 30, 1974 96 5 5 Pan Am Flight 806: Pago Pago: American Samoa: Boeing 707-321B: The aircraft encountered windshear caused by a microburst during approach and failed to recognize in a timely manner and correct the ensuing excessive descent rate.

Fatigue 12 The accident was caused by a fatigue crack in the spline, which ultimately caused the power transmission shaft to fail. The helicopter crashed into the sea. [13] 1997-12-19 SilkAir Flight 185: Musi River, Palembang, Indonesia Boeing 737-300: Pilot suicide (disputed by NTSC) 104
ASTANA/TBILISI/BAKU (Reuters) -An Embraer passenger jet crashed near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, killing 38 people, after diverting from an area of Russia that Moscow has ...
An American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter collided over Washington, D.C., Wednesday night. All 67 people aboard the aircraft are presumed dead.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 tail wreckage due to the crash. The July 6, 2013, crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 was one of many accidents triggered by stress. During the aircraft's final approach to San Francisco International Airport from Incheon International Airport, the plane hit the edge of the runway and its tail came apart, followed by the fuselage bursting into flames.
Mayor Cherelle Parker said five people are still hospitalized following a fatal medical jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia, three of whom are in critical condition.
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 focused on pilots, truck drivers, and shift workers.
