  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. 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.

    FlyAwake: a web-based fatigue risk management tool which returns quantitative fatigue analysis for a given flight schedule. [ 8 ] Wingman Project : a suicide intervention initiative that shows family and friends of distressed Airmen how to intervene to save a life, providing training in 54 U.S. states and territories.

  5. Effects of fatigue on safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_fatigue_on_safety

    Source: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration [1] Fatigue is a major safety concern in many fields, but especially in transportation, because fatigue can result in disastrous accidents. Fatigue is considered an internal precondition for unsafe acts because it negatively affects the human operator's internal state. Research has generally ...

  7. Autopilot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot

    A World War II-era Honeywell C-1 autopilot control panel. In the early days of aviation, aircraft required the continuous attention of a pilot to fly safely. As aircraft range increased, allowing flights of many hours, the constant attention led to serious fatigue. An autopilot is designed to perform some of the pilot's tasks.

    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.

  9. Fatigue detection software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_detection_software

    Fatigue detection software is intended to reduce fatigue related fatalities and incidents. Several companies are working on a technology for use in industries such as mining, road- and rail haulage and aviation. The technology may soon find wider applications in industries such as health care and education. [citation needed]
