Fatigue and Flying

[snow-back]

Does anyone have any studies or reports about the effects of fatigue on flying and cognitive abilities? I thought I had heard that UPS has done some research on this.

Thanks.

Take a look at a few of these sites for fatigue information:

We regularly do 16 hours of duty and I can't remember ever falling asleep... But I do remember waking up a couple times.

Snow,
"Human Factors in Flight" is a good book for your research

Unfortunately here is a place that does not seem to think fatigue is a problem.
