Pilot fatigue management

Pilot fatigue management involves strategies and regulations designed to prevent pilots from becoming too tired during flights. Fatigue can impair judgment, reaction time, and decision-making, impacting safety. It includes scheduling limits on flight hours, mandatory rest periods, and careful planning of work shifts to ensure pilots are well-rested. Airlines also monitor pilots' health and provide education on recognizing signs of fatigue. Effective fatigue management helps maintain high safety standards, ensuring pilots are alert and capable of handling any situation that arises during flight.
