Nearly everyone experiences fatigue, but some professions-such as
aviation, medicine and the military-demand alert, precise, rapid,
and well-informed decision making and communication with little
margin for error. The potential for fatigue to negatively affect
human performance is well established. Concern about this potential
in the aviation context extends back decades, with both airlines
and pilots agreeing that fatigue is a safety concern. A more recent
consideration is whether and how pilot commuting, conducted in a
pilot's off-duty time, may affect fatigue during flight duty. In
summer 2010 the U.S. Congress directed the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to update the federal regulations that govern
pilot flight and duty time, taking into account recent research
related to sleep and fatigue. As part of their directive, Congress
also instructed FAA to have the National Academy of Sciences
conduct a study on the effects of commuting on pilot fatigue. The
Effects of Commuting on Pilot Fatigue reviews research and other
information related to the prevalence and characteristics of
commuting; to the science of sleep, fatigue, and circadian rhythms;
to airline and regulatory oversight policies; and to pilot and
airline practices. The Effects of Commuting on Pilot Fatigue
discusses the policy, economic, and regulatory issues that affect
pilot commuting, and outlines potential next steps, including
recommendations for regulatory or administrative actions, or
further research by the FAA. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary
