The same type of pilot errors and violations of standard operating procedure had been found in other accidents in which fatigue was not a factor. [3]: 171–173 To state that fatigue was a contributing factor, and thus part of the probable cause, would be inconsistent with the above finding and would, therefore, disrupt this flow of logic.

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 ...
Two years after a fatal commuter jet crash in Buffalo that was blamed in part on sleepy pilots, pilot fatigue continues to be widespread, experts.
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
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.

The crash probably was caused by the inexperience of the pilot, Ronald Bramlage of Junction City, Kansas, who was killed with his wife and four children. RED Air Flight 203 caught fire at Miami International Airport after landing due to landing gear collapsing, causing a runway excursion. Three minor injuries happened among the 140 passengers ...
