In flight operations, the workload settings refer to the shift work, duty time, flight time, number of sectors, rest periods, time of day, duty patterns, number of time-zone transitions, number of consecutive duty days, and changes in the schedule. Workload factors, together with the biological mechanisms (the circadian rhythm, homeostatic sleep pr...

Conducting flight operations at the pace of air traffic relies on shift work, overtime work, work at night, work in different and numerous time zones, and unbalanced flight crew schedules. Such working hours and workload settings can cause disturbances of the circadian rhythm and sleep disorders among flight crew members; this can result in fatigue...

The aim of the presented research is to elaborate the hazard of fatigue in air transport operations. Besides a summarized overview of bibliographical sources, a correlation between fatigue and safety management is discussed, as well as fatigue risk assessment and mitigation tools. The targeted research task refers objectification of the crew fatigu...

Paper presents methodology of fatigue risk management through assessment methods and tools and applicative mitigation measures. The research has been targeted towards objectification of the crew fatigue on the sample of flight operations and results interpretation of referent indicators measuring. The crew fatigue is measured using Complex Reaction...
