Influence of Age on Alertness and Performance During 3-Day Cross North-Atlantic Operations

Abstract

From literature it is known that a relationship exists between age and pilot's performance. Furthermore age correlates with shorter sleep, impaired sleep quality, difficulty in adapting to irregular work schedules and rapid time zone transitions. These factors may aggravate the effect of age and lead to impaired performance during flight duties.
