Air controller fatigue linked to accidents
Gig 601XL Builder wrote: Mxsmanic the colossal idiot wrote: See http://us.cnn.com/2007/US/04/10/cont...gue/index.html The Comair Cradh "The controller in the tower had worked a 6:30 a.m.-to-2:30 p.m. shift the day before the accident, then returned nine hours later and worked from 11:30 p.m. until the 6:07 a.m. accident, the NTSB says. He told investigators his only sleep between shifts was a two-hour nap." That's nine hours and he knew he had another shift coming up. What is the FAA expected to do, send someone home with him and make sure he goes to sleep? If I get two hours sleep before my mid shift I am thrilled.
