While stress and fatigue are often dealt with in other books on
aviation performance and human factors, these realities of human
vulnerability are now increasingly seen as central to the effective
conduct of flight operations. Flight Stress provides a
comprehensive treatment and a better understanding of stress and
fatigue as they relate to aviation. It clarifies and distinguishes
the concepts of stress and fatigue as they apply to flight, and
expounds sufficient theory to provide a principled basis for the
consideration and amelioration of stress effects in aviation. The
authors examine what is known of the effects of stress from both
laboratory and operational studies and detail the aspects of this
knowledge to which aviation professionals should pay most
attention. They go on to discuss the implications of stress and
fatigue for performance in a range of aviation contexts, from air
traffic control to aerial combat. Physiological, cognitive and
medical sequel are explored. The book locates aviation related
work, in its broader research context, critically reviewing and
illustrating the work, with examples from accident and incident
reports. It is substantive but accessible, since it both sets out
the research base and provides plenty of 'real world' examples to
leaven and illustrate the narrative. It thus provides an
authoritative handbook for aviation professionals and a
comprehensive source book and reference work for researchers. The
readership includes aviation professionals and researchers,
including medical personnel and registered Aviation Medical
Examiners; psychologists and Human Factors specialists; training
captains, senior pilots and engineers; air traffic controllers,
dispatchers and operations staff.
