The most common cause of sleepiness, though, is a lack of sleep, and unfortunately a great many people sleep less than they should, and tend to doze off easily in consequence. I don't know that the FAA takes this into account (or even how it could), but some cross-country flights must surely be powerfully sedative in effect. Does the FAA allow pilots to carry No-Doz in the cockpit? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
