The Federal Aviation Administration sent an inspector to Yuma. The National Transportation Safety Board opened an investigation into the incident. [24] [12] Inspection of the 5 feet (1.5 m) long tear revealed evidence of pre-existing fatigue. The tear was along a lap joint.
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 ...
AIA Flight 808 was the first aviation accident where pilot fatigue was cited as a probable cause. [4] The NTSB issued a recommendation to the Federal Aviation Administration to review and update regulations on crew scheduling and duty time limits to incorporate the latest research into the effects of fatigue.

An American Airlines regional flight had its oxygen masks deploy and made a rapid descent in response to a pressurization issue in the cabin. Loss of cabin pressure caused oxygen masks to deploy ...
The list of aircraft accidents and incidents caused by structural failures summarizes notable accidents and incidents such as the 1933 United Airlines Chesterton Crash due to a bombing and a 1964 B-52 test that landed after the vertical stabilizer broke off. Loss of structural integrity during flight can be caused by:
The probable cause of this accident was incapacitation of the flight crew members as a result of their failure to receive supplemental oxygen following a loss of cabin pressurization, for undetermined reasons. The Board added a commentary regarding the possible reasons why the crew did not obtain supplemental oxygen:
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. January 6, 1974 ...
The cause of the crash was determined to be loss of control during go around due to lack of coordination between the pilots in a case of engine torque asymmetry, pilot fatigue and poor overisght by the operator. 6 fatalities.
