Description
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) defines fatigue as a physiological state of reduced mental or physical performance capability resulting from sleep loss or extended wakefulness, circadian phase, or workload (mental and/or physical activity) that can impair a front line alertness and ability to safely operate an aircraft or perform safety-related duties.
Since fatigue negatively affects alertness and human performance in critical safety tasks. Insufficient strategies to mitigate fatigue can lead to decreased efficiency, increased errors, and heightened safety risks. This concern can impact anyone within the aviation system, including flight crews, cabin crews, engineers, ground handlers, and air traffic controllers.
