Aeromedical Factors in Aviator Fatigue, Crew Work/Rest Schedules and Extended Flight Operations: An Annotated Bibliography.
Abstract
The influence of aviator fatigue on sustained flight operations is an important aeromedical topic. Available research data on the topic are either in short supply or are scattered throughout diverse printed sources and are diffcult to tap when questions of their application to operational decisions are posed. This annotated bibliography lists 224 references containing research data, conceptual position papers and different methodological approaches to studying aviator fatique, aviation crew work-rest schedules and extended flight operations. The bibliography contains an index which categorizes the references into such categories as; (1) circadian rhythms and jet lag: (2) psychological measurement of performance; (3) helicopter, transport, and civilian flight operations; (4) crew work-rest schedules; and (5) biochemical and physiological indices of fatigue. The basic period of coverage is 1940-1980.
