2 Fatigue and alertness : Rest and sleep Time since awake Type of activity Time on task Type of task Circadian rhythm Drugs/Medication/Aids to alertness Manual Mental Monotony/Boredom Challenging

3 Measuring Fatigue: Fatigue Meter Fatigued Get Out BUSHED ALERT Wouldn't it be nice?

4 Concept of AVOIDANCE of Fatigue Surrogate Measures eg. Karolinska / Stanford Scales Alcohol Equivalence : Caution!!! In Using Such measures Physical: YesMental: No Research Ongoing -- US Navy Studies

5 *Performance Based Measures: LOSA, FOQA etc *Sleep Vs Wakefulness -- EEG (Polysomnography) *Psychomotor Vigilance Tests: Simple Reaction Time Choice Reaction Time Tracking Tasks etc

9 Arousal * Stress * Workload etc. Performance LOWHIGH OPTIMUM POOR GOOD Acceptable

10 Arousal Stress Workload etc. Performance GOOD Acceptable

11 Arousal Stress Workload etc. Performance LOWHIGH OPTIMUM POOR GOOD Acceptable Shift to the Right Well Rested Good Sleep Good Handle on Life Stressors Etc..

12 Arousal Stress Workload etc. Performance LOWHIGH OPTIMUM POOR GOOD Acceptable Shift to the Left Not Slept Well Not Well Rested Circadian Desynchrony Not Managed Work Overload Excess Alcohol

13 General Idea:

14 NOT a good example of a person with reserves and spare mental capacity

15 Rest & SleepCircadian Desynchrony

16 Sleep Awake In - Between Take - Off 08002000

17 Arousal Stress Workload etc. Performance LOWHIGH OPTIMUM POOR GOOD Acceptable Which Side of the Curve are you on? Right Left

23 Factors that moderate alertness/fatigue on the flight deck : Number of flight crew Composition of flight crew Status of circadian acclimatization Previous duty duration Opportunity for pre-flight rest/sleep Opportunity for in-flight rest/sleep Post-flight recovery and sleep

24 What were the issues to be resolved?

30 Departure windows that factor in circadian shifts and a systematically thought out plan for rest/sleep in the overall duty cycle, alongside appropriate crewing, are the key to maintaining alertness.

34 Time of Consumption and Amount Consumed are Important Within the Duty / Rest Cycle

35 What a coincidence, so does he

36 Hormone produced mainly in Pineal gland Regulates circadian rhythm in the normal dark/light cycle ?Assist in jet-lag Should a pilot use it? When to use it

37 What are they? TranquilitySleep Unconscious Death Pilots ---- ? Take Hypnotics Dose

40 Humans (like all animals) are creatures of habit Establish sleep habits --- follow the routine Healthy Life Style Essential Moderation is the key

41 Sleep structure across the ages

54 We know the factors leading to fatigue. Fatigue is difficult to quantify “Cut-off” points for fatigue cannot be determined Avoidance of Fatigue Factors is the BEST Bet CAP 371

55 Are Saying The Same Thing It Is Just Packaged Differently

56 1.Fatigue remains a problem among pilots 2.Regulators, Pilots and Airline Operators all have a part to play 3.Current regulations (FTLs) require revision 4.Definitions within the regulations need to be crafted/refined to remove ambiguity (of interpretation) 5.Overarching prescriptive limits likely to remain 6.Fatigue Risk Management will come in within the ambit of the overarching prescriptive limits
