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.
The captain attempted to deviate the flight's route around a severe thunderstorm, bringing them in an area with higher terrain, but did not increase altitude and the flight eventually struck a mountain. A major factor in the accident was that the flight was conducted under visual flight rules at night with no air traffic control while en route.
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.
Workload significantly increases during night flying. Workload and overload occurs when the amount of work exceeds a pilot's maximum working capacity. Studies show that this is the most serious environmental cause of aviation stress. [8] There is a strong positive relationship between workload and stress level. [9]
Whatever happened specifically, Wednesday’s air disaster was “a bad f**k-up,” according to Mike Henderson, who owns a flight training academy in Livermore, California, and testifies as an ...
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 ...
