Benefits associated with improving fatigue regulations for cargo pilots

This study investigated the potential business benefits of improving fatigue regulations for cargo pilots in Brazil. The research objectives were to compare fatigue levels between cargo and passenger operations, identify…

Investigation of Pilots' Visual Entropy and Eye Fixations for Simulated Flights Consisted of Multiple Take-Offs and Landings

Eye movement characteristics might provide insights on pilots' mental fatigue during prolonged flight. The visual entropy, eye fixation numbers, and eye fixation durations of ten novice pilots and ten expert pilots were …

Interactions of International Pilots' Stress, Fatigue, Symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Common Mental Disorders and Wellbeing

Objective This study Investigates more dimensions than previous studies simultaneously: pilots’ duty rosters, stress, sleep difficulties, fatigue levels, wellbeing, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and common mental diso…

Comparison of Schedules, Stress, Sleep Problems, Fatigue, Mental Health and Well-being of Low Cost and Network Carrier Pilots

Objective This research investigates and compares working-conditions, duty rosters, stress, sleep problems, fatigue levels, mental health, and well-being of pilots working for network (NWCs), and low-cost carriers (LCCs)…

How Duty Rosters and Stress Relate to Sleep Problems and Fatigue of International Pilots

While previous research focused on pilots’ fatigue, rosters, potential performance-impairment and aviation-safety, this research investigates, how pilots’ work-related and psychosocial stress and rosters can affect their…
