Nothing is more fatiguing that watching the FAA sit on their hands. Maybe things will change with D.W. in charge up there this time around. Who knows?

As far as crashes off the top of my head you have all the ones I'm aware of. Good luck to you.

The NTSB released a preliminary report of its investigation into a go! airlines flight that flew past it's destination airport in Hilo, Hawaii, apparently because the two pilots fell asleep. No mechanical defects were found. Mesa Air Group, which owns go!, has suspended the two pilots pending separate investigations.

i'm not sure if this is considered fatigue, or if this is what the company considers reduced rest.

Frontier had a flight into BWI that had the same thing happen.

A search of "pilot fatigue" on ntsb.gov brought up the following reports:

B90 - Dodge City KS

Cessna 340A - South Dakota

PA60 - Columbus IN

Beech 1900 - Alaska

King Air 200 - Dalton GA

"Crew fatigue" brought up these results

Challenger 600 - Ft. Lauderdale

Avianca 707 - JFK

Donb't forget about that DC-8 freight crash down in Cuba..... Must have been in the early to mid 90s.... Those guys had been on duty for like 28 hrs!

That was a great example of a screwed and extended crew!

Crash of Paul Wellstone-D Sen MN in 2003

Crash of Paul Wellstone-D Sen MN in 2003

I thought that was an assassination...at least that's what a few crazies want to believe...

Seriously though, in the Wellstone crash the PIC had pencil-whipped his logbook and flew a King Air waaaaaaaaaay too slow in icing conditions...fatigue wasn't suspected to be a factor.

You’re probably right, I personally have not read the accident report.

I thought I read something in the Minneapolis Tribune a few years ago that mentioned the pilot had pulled a double shift as a nurse (his primary job) before heading to the airport.

Hence the fatigue connection.

I was on an overnight and got out of bed with a monster kickstand, walked to the hotel bathroom and stubbed my toe going in. Hurt my toe and lost a killer kickstand all at once.

Haven't looked anything up, but wasn't that icing?

What about the RJ off LEX, no fatigue argument there?

Even though the LEX accident was an early show time I don't think it was fatigue related . I remember hearing that it was a pretty long overnight as in over 12 hours so I doubt the crew rest / fatigue issue showed up. However I have not done any research into it and just going on what I remember reading on FI a while back.

Controller fatigue, maybe.

To quote the NTSB " Even though the pilots had to wake up at a time when most normal people are sleeping we do not believe fatigue was the controlling factor" They then went on to say that they were able to prove that they had 6-7 hrs of rest behind the hotel room door with no interruptions.

I was tired and stubbed my toe, that's the accident. The incident was the loss of kickstand. This is F/I, since when do I have to make sense?

Nope that was not setting the flaps properly. NW227.

They didn't set the flaps for takeoff. Maybe not so much fatigue as being in a hurry. They did work a long day though.
