Pilot fatigue research at NASA Ames has a long history, initiated by a Congressional request to investigate the magnitude of fatigue, sleep loss and circadian disruption in flight operations, and how these factors impact crew performance. Research has been conducted in a broad range of aviation operations, including short-haul, long-haul, rotorcraft, overnight cargo, corporate/business, and regional airlines. Studies have been conducted in the field during actual flight operations, in simulated settings, focus group meetings, and with surveys. Other investigations have examined mitigation strategies including in-flight rest periods and lighting applications. Other activities have included education and training, publications, accident investigation support and the development of research methods and tools. Future research may include further lighting interventions, controlled rest strategies, use of automation, the effectiveness of modeling tools, and implementation of organizational fatigue management programs.
