Download or read book Fatigue in Aviation written by John Caldwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated edition includes fatigue and sleep definitions as well as strategies for the measurement and assessment of fatigue. The aviation performance, mood, and safety problems associated with sleep restriction and circadian disruptions in operational settings are highlighted. The biological bases of fatigue are discussed so that the reader can understand that it is a real physiological phenomenon and not 'just a state of mind'. Both traditional and newly-developed scientifically-valid countermeasures are presented, and a variety of data from diverse sources are included to provide readers with a 'toolbox' from which they can choose the best solutions for the fatigue-related problems that exist in their unique operational context. In addition, an essential overview of Fatigue Risk Management Systems is included to provide the basic structure necessary to build and validate a modern, integrated approach to successful fatigue management. The book is of interest to aviation crews in both civilian and military sectors--managers as well as pilots, flight crews, and maintainers. It aims to be user-friendly, although scientific information is included to help the reader fully understand the 'fatigue phenomenon' from an evidence-based perspective as well as to enhance the reader's appreciation for the manner in which various counter-fatigue interventions are helpful.
Download or read book Issues in Commuting and Pilot Fatigue written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential for fatigue to negatively affect human performance is well established. Concern about this potential in the aviation context extends back decades, with both airlines and pilots agreeing that fatigue is a safety concern. A more recent consideration is whether and how pilot commuting, conducted in a pilot's off-duty time, may affect fatigue. The National Academy of Sciences was asked to review available information related to the prevalence and characteristics of pilot commuting; sleep, fatigue, and circadian rhythms; airline and regulatory oversight policies; and pilot and airline practices. This interim report summarizes the committee's review to date of the available information. The final report will present a final review, along with the committee's conclusions and recommendations based on the information available during its deliberations.
Download or read book The Fatigue Management Program for Airport Workers in New Zealand An Evaluation written by Damien Hiquet and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Stress management, grade: A+, , language: English, abstract: This paper evaluates the fatigue management program for airport workers in New Zealand. Airports, like hospitals, never close, and, as such, healthcare providers and aviation professionals operate under a distinctive but shared set of circumstances. As a result, long and intensive shifts are common, sleep deprivation and fatigue are widespread. Fatigue is an unavoidable consequence of modern airline operations due to shift work and crew duties which invariably are associated with some sleep disruption. There is a large variation between individuals in their ability to cope with sleep disruption and jet lag. In section sixteen, the Health and Safety Work Act 2015 (HSWA) recognises fatigue as a hazard implying that the Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) must manage it. For the civil aviation system, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has set the fundamental standards for fatigue risk management (FRM). Nationally, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the workplace health and safety regulator under HSWA.
Download or read book Tired of Flying written by Alexander G. Criss and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mobility Air Forces (MAF) are unwittingly accepting and executing routine and low-priority missions with high levels of unidentified fatigue risks because of an inadequate and outdated risk management system. Unfortunately, the risk management process championed by Air Mobility Command’s (AMC) Aviation Operational Risk Management (AvORM) construct minimizes aircrew welfare and importance to safe operations. The current AvORM construct neglects the aircrew’s Health, Stress, and Fatigue risks until deep into the execution phases of missions, leaving self-assessment to the crews. Because human errors contribute to 70-80% of aircraft mishaps, ignoring Human Factors subjects the MAF enterprise to increased levels of unnecessary risks. Additionally, within the AvORM process, there is a general disregard of the genuine, negative impacts of circadian rhythm disruption on cognitive, reflex, and crew resource management capabilities of crews, all of which are vital to the continuation of safe mobility operations and a healthy volunteer force. I demonstrate this lapse in risk accountability and provide alternative, objective variables to account for fatigue-linked risks, using a sample of 2016 KC-10 Channel Missions. The current AvORM construct identified only 2% of KC-10 Channel Mission flight duty periods as High-Risk, whereas inclusion of the new variables exposed 90% as having overall High-Risk due to fatigue-related factors. A construct that fails to identify significant risks leads to operations with potentially unnecessary risks, which the enterprise cannot eliminate, mitigate, or proactively manage. For senior leaders, flight planners, and aircrews, the implications are twofold: (1) a dangerous prevalence of unidentified fatigue risks, which will likely lead to catastrophic consequences to aircrew and assets and (2) the opportunity for increased safety and improved health of the force through proactive management of fatigue risks."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: "Today's aviation industry is a 24/7 operation that produces a variety of challenges for cabin crew members, including extended duty periods, highly variable schedules, and frequent time zone changes. While these operational requirements may be necessary, they are far from ideal with respect to the human body's biological rhythms for managing sleep and alertness. In fact, acute sleep loss, sustained periods of wakefulness, and circadian factors resulting from this form of misalignment are all contributors to fatigue and fatigue-related mishaps (Caldwell, 2005; Rosekind et al., 1996). The strategic management of fatigue is necessary for safety improvement throughout the industry. Employee educational programs regarding the dangers of fatigue, the causes of sleepiness, and the importance of proper sleep hygiene to improve sleep quality may be critical for effective fatigue management (Caldwell, 2005). This report outlines specific recommendations regarding fatigue countermeasures training and its potential benefits to flight attendant operations."--Report documentation page.

Download or read book Aircraft Fatigue Management written by Lorrie Molent and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue occurs under cyclic loading and can significantly degrade the operational capability and safety of metallic aircraft components and structures. This book provides summaries of some metallic aircraft structural integrity issues, innovative but established examples of maintaining operational capability—airworthiness, and assessments of safe in-service fatigue lives. These topics are based on a through-life fatigue management philosophy that ensures safe and continued operation, including during life extensions that are almost inevitably required. This philosophy is underpinned by observations of the behaviour of fatigue cracks in actual structures subjected to realistic service loading conditions. The book includes topics like aircraft design requirements, individual aircraft fatigue loads monitoring, airframe fatigue testing, sources of fatigue-nucleating discontinuities, and prediction of fatigue crack growth from these discontinuities. All these aspects contribute to discussing methods of assuring the structural integrity and operational capability of realistically cracked structures. The book also discusses the exponential behaviour of lead or dominant cracks—those leading to first failure—and the practical significance of differences between fatigue fracture topographies produced under constant amplitude and variable amplitude loading. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in aircraft fatigue management and allied fields.

Book excerpt: Aircraft Fatigue: Design, Operational and Economic Aspects contains the proceedings of the ""Symposium on Aircraft Fatigue—Design, Operational and Economic Aspects,"" held in Melbourne, Australia, on May 22-24, 1967. The papers explore the design and operational aspects of the fatigue problem in general aviation and transport aircraft, as well as the economic aspects of the fatigue problem as it affects both operators and manufacturers. This book is comprised of 21 chapters and begins with a description of an approach to structural reliability analysis based on order statistics and the expected time to first failure in a fleet of specified magnitude, along with its application to structures subject to progressive fatigue damage. The following chapters deal with structural load measurement and analysis; design and certification programs for a wide range of aircraft types including the Anglo-French and American civil supersonic transports; acoustic fatigue; and the design of joints. The detection of fatigue cracks in service and the effects of fatigue on the cost of design and operation of aircraft are also discussed. This monograph will be a useful resource for aircraft and aeronautical engineers as well as officials of civil aviation.

Download or read book Fatigue Risk Management in Aviation Maintenance written by Alan Hobbs and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The unregulated hours and frequent night work characteristic of maintenance can produce significant levels of employee fatigue, with a resultant risk of maintenance error. Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) are widely used to manage fatigue among flight crew and drivers of commercial vehicles, but comprehensive approaches to fatigue risk management are still uncommon within maintenance organizations. In the wider transport industry, the objective of most FRMS has been to reduce fatigue to an acceptable level. Two additional objectives can be identified for FRMS in the maintenance environment: reducing or capturing fatigue-related errors, and minimizing the harm caused by fatigue-related errors. A range of countermeasures can help to achieve these three objectives in aviation maintenance. Some of these countermeasures are currently being applied within the industry, while others may become feasible in the future. The data available on best practices for fatigue risk management in aviation maintenance are continually evolving. This should be considered an interim report."--Report documentation page.
