In order to determine the circadian rhythms of physiological standards under the stress of flying, the pulse rate, frequency of respiration, O2 inspiration and CO2 expiration were investigated in a flight simulator with 17 airforce pilots. The results showed an exact circadian rhythm with gradual ascent of the physiological activity during the morning hours until a maximum during the early morning. The nightly trough in performance, which is proven once more should be seriously considered in flight schedules of military and civilian aviation. (Author)
