Aviation
| Crew fatigue is now the limiting factor in modern aviation. Long haul aircraft expand international flights beyond 16 hours of duty and night flights and extended duty days become ever-more critical to optimising short haul economics. In this time-pressured environment, runway incursions and mid-air near misses reveal the vulnerability to human error in an otherwise safe industry. |
Great challenges also remain in the staffing and scheduling of ground personnel.
Challenges:
- Fatigue Risk Management – What does a successful plan look like and how do you implement it?
- Safe Optimisation of Crew Pairing and Pilot Substitutions – Unless crew fatigue is factored in, optimisation software can create excess fatigue risk.
- Costly Damage – Below the Wing – Labour disputes and poor morale lead to errors and costly damage to equipment.
