  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 ...

  3. Pilot decision making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_decision_making

    Fatigue poses a significant issue in the aviation industry with the increase in demand for long-haul missions. Fatigue is especially detrimental to decision-making tasks, awareness-related tasks, and planning, which are the fundamental skills for pilots to operate their aircraft. This situation is especially dangerous since 26% of pilots deny ...

  4. Effects of fatigue on safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_fatigue_on_safety

    Fatigue can be both physical and mental. Physical fatigue is the inability to continue functioning at the level of one's normal abilities; a person with physical fatigue cannot lift as heavy a box or walk as far as he could if not fatigued. [3] [4] [5] Mental fatigue, on the other hand, rather manifests in sleepiness or slowness. A person with ...

  5. Environmental causes of aviation stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_causes_of...

    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]

  6. Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_Avoidance...

    The Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool (FAST) was developed by the United States Air Force in 2000–2001 to address the problem of aircrew fatigue in aircrew flight scheduling. [2] FAST is a Windows program that allows scientists, planners and schedulers to quantify the effects of various work-rest schedules on human performance.

  7. Stress in the aviation industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_in_the_aviation...

    Stress can narrow the focus of attention in a good way and in a bad way. Stress helps to simplify a pilot's task and enables him or her to focus on major issues by eliminating nonessential information. [19] In other words, a pilot can simplify information and react accordingly to major cues only.

  8. IMSAFE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMSAFE

    The psychological pressures of everyday living on pilot fatigue can be a powerful distraction and consequently affect a pilot's performance. A lcohol - Although legal limits vary by jurisdiction (0.04 BAC, any consumption in the past 8 hours or current impairment in the USA [ 2 ] ), the pilot should consider their alcohol consumption within the ...
