A Study on the Pilot Fatigue Measurement Methods for Fatigue Risk Management / 항공우주의학회지

ABSTRACT

Pilot fatigue is a great hazard to aviation safety. In recent years, longdistancefights have been increasing and flight hours have been increasing, whichhas made fatigue issues important. International organizations in the aviation sectors(ICAO, FAA, IATA etc.) recommend management of fatigue within the SMS (SafetyManagement System) framework. A scientific and systematic approach to measuringfatigue is required as a prerequisite to preparing safety management measures forpilot’s fatigue. Therefore, in this study, I would like to consider recent trends andimplications for fatigue measurement. First, I aimed to consider recent the accidentcases related to fatigue. Second, I also considered how to measure the pilot’sfatigue. Finally, the direction of the countermeasures against fatigue through fatigue measurement was developed and suggested.
