Fatigue Risk Management in Commercial GA Pilots
Aviation stakeholders have established fatigue as a leading cause of aircraft accidents. Aviation operators should operationalize mandatory shift workers as a regulation. This strategy will improve the sleeping periods for pilots as they will have a constant timetable. Another factor to consider is sleep timing. Long-haul flights span different time zones that may deprive pilots’ sleep cumulatively. These factors must be adhered to when developing strategic plans regarding risk management in aviation.
