    Physiological stress is a physical change due to influence of fatigue, anxiety, hunger, or any factors that may change a pilot's biological rhythms. [16] Lastly, psychological factors include personal issues, including experiences, mental health, relationships and any other emotional issues a pilot may face. [ 16 ]

    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. 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 ...

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determines that the probable cause of this accident was a low-cycle fatigue crack in the dovetail of fan blade No. 13, which resulted in the fan blade separating in flight and impacting the engine fan case at a location that was critical to the structural integrity and performance of the fan cowl ...

  8. Pilot error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_error

    Modern accident investigators avoid the words "pilot error", as the scope of their work is to determine the cause of an accident, rather than to apportion blame. Furthermore, any attempt to incriminate the pilots does not consider that they are part of a broader system, which in turn may be accountable for their fatigue, work pressure, or lack ...

    The temporary grounding of Australian-registered Viscounts was eventually made permanent, pending investigations into the cause of the accident. [33] Fatigue-failure of the wing of VH-RMQ immediately raised doubt about the validity of the retirement life of the inner lower boom in the Type 700 so British Aircraft Corporation and the UK Air ...
