Influence of Fatigue on Pilot’s Physical Activity During 24-hour Experiments

Original language description

Due to the characteristics of their profession, pilots are often exposed to fatigue. Irregular shifts, night flights, prolonged wakefulness, crossing multiple time zones and associated circadian rhythm disruptions are just some of the factors contributing to pilot fatigue. As a result of fatigue, cognitive and motor functions are affected, which could lead to reduced performance. If an emergency situation occurs when the pilot is fatigued, it may limit its correct and successful resolution, as evidenced by the accidents to which fatigue was a contributing factor. For these reasons, attention is paid to fatigue in aviation. Many of the negative effects that fatigue has on aircraft crew performance are now known, but the overall impact of fatigue is often underestimated. This is due to a low knowledge of the complexity of the effects of fatigue, as data are collected in the form of individual testimonies of crew members, and therefore the application of this subjective data to the entire population is inaccurate and can lead to errors. One of the characteristics that are affected by fatigue is motor skills. The pilot's movement in the cockpit is severely limited. Most of the physical activity is performed by the upper limbs and head, more precisely the eyes. Compared to the upper limbs, the load on the lower limbs during standard flight is much lower, as the pilot operates not only the control element for deflecting the control surfaces with the upper limbs, but also other on-board instruments....
