Bottom line.........

"Pilots given nicotine or donepezil flew better in the simulator than the control group in their respective trials"


Just for you 350

Interesting study. The one I'm waiting for though, is the one where they compare the simulator performance of pilots in their 11'th flight hour in and their 18'th hour of continuous duty with the performance of pilots who just drank a beer ... or two .... or three.

 

[doh]

NASA already did that study. They found the performance levels to be equivalent to .04 blood alcohol. The FAA and the ATA both agreed to ignore the substance of the findings and instead publish another pamphlet about fatigue. The pamphlet says you need to be aware of fatigue because when you get fatigued you won't know it. I swear, that's what it says. We get them in our mail boxes at Comair periodically.
