EFFECTS OF FATIGUE ON AERONAUTICAL PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Events occurring in aviation affect the entire activity of a company. The contribution to the occurrence of an event is both routine and fatigue that can have negative preponderant effects. Identifying the factors favoring the occurrence of an event brings a progress in the development of programs to maximize flight safety. The study of routine and fatigue factors raises the level of importance and awareness on aviation events. Each member of the company must actively participate in the compliance of working procedures to increase the degree of safety at work. This level can only be reached when we establish and maintain strict rules, eliminate chaos and stress, minimize the pressure of tasks to create an environment proper to development. The study addresses all aeronautical personnel to increase the understanding of the effects of fatigue and how they contribute to the rate of occurrence of events.
