While stress and fatigue are often dealt with in other books on aviation performance and human factors, these realities of human vulnerability are now increasingly seen as central to the effective conduct of flight operations. Flight Stress provides a comprehensive treatment and a better understanding of stress and fatigue as they relate to aviation. It clarifies and distinguishes the concepts of stress and fatigue as they apply to flight, and expounds sufficient theory to provide a principled basis for the consideration and amelioration of stress effects in aviation. The authors examine what is known of the effects of stress from both laboratory and operational studies and detail the aspects of this knowledge to which aviation professionals should pay most attention. They go on to discuss the implications of stress and fatigue for performance in a range of aviation contexts, from air traffic control to aerial combat. Physiological, cognitive and medical sequel are explored. The book locates aviation related work, in its broader research context, critically reviewing and illustrating the work, with examples from accident and incident reports. It is substantive but accessible, since it both sets out the research base and provides plenty of 'real world' examples to leaven and illustrate the narrative. It thus provides an authoritative handbook for aviation professionals and a comprehensive source book and reference work for researchers. The readership includes aviation professionals and researchers, including medical personnel and registered Aviation Medical Examiners; psychologists and Human Factors specialists; training captains, senior pilots and engineers; air traffic controllers, dispatchers and operations staff.

The aim of this dissertation was to examine two so far separately considered complex constructs, fatigue and mental health, concerning a target group that has to cope with high stress, extraordinary workload, high risks and responsibility: professional pilots. The complexity of the psychophysiological construct fatigue should be highlighted. Potential correlations and interactions of stress with fatigue, sleep problems, mental health and well-being should be investigated. It seemed necessary to consider pilot fatigue not only in the context of sleep medicine, but also in context with the Theory of Allostasis, clinical, work psychology and burnout research. Studies one and two investigated, if our com-prehensive dataset of 406 pilots would support the Theory of Allostasis. Complex anal-yses confirmed that acute and chronic work-related and psychosocial stress were signifi-cantly associated with more psychophysiological wear and tear processes like high fa-tigue, sleep problems, impaired well-being and more symptoms of depression, anxiety, and CMD. The third study was a Qualitative Content Analysis of pilots' experiences, which perfectly confirmed the quantitative results of all five studies and the Theory of Allostasis. Studies 4, 5 and 6 compared groups of pilots. Australian pilots were slightly more affected than EASA-based pilots. Short-haul pilots of low-cost-carriers were most affected, reporting excessive fatigue, the most sleep problems, the most symptoms of depression, anxiety and CMD, and the most impaired well-being. These first six explora-tory studies have not received any funding but have identified important new research topics. These complex, new results should be the basis of future research regarding pi-lots' fatigue, health and flight safety in general. Das Ziel dieser Dissertation war es, zwei bisher getrennt betrachtete komplexe Konstrukte, Müdigkeit und psychische Gesundheit, in Bezug auf eine Zielgruppe zu untersuchen, die mit hohem Stress, außergewöhnlicher Arbeitsbelastung, hohen Risiken und Verantwortung fertig werden muss: Berufspiloten. Die Komplexität des psychophysiologischen Konstrukts Fatigue soll hervorgehoben werden. Mögliche Korrelationen und Wechselwirkungen von Stress mit Müdigkeit, Schlafproblemen, psychischer Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden sollten untersucht werden. Es schien notwendig, Pilotenmüdigkeit nicht nur im Kontext der Schlafmedizin, sondern auch im Zusammenhang mit der Theorie der Allostase, der klinischen, arbeitspsychologischen und Burnout-Forschung zu betrachten. Die Studien eins und zwei untersuchten, ob unser umfassender Datensatz von 406 Piloten die Theorie der Allostase stützen würde. Komplexe Analysen bestätigten, dass akuter und chronischer arbeitsbedingter und psychosozialer Stress signifikant mit mehr psychophysiologischen Verschleißprozessen wie hoher Erschöpfung, Schlafproblemen, beeinträchtigtem Wohlbefinden und mehr Symptomen von Depressionen, Angstzuständen und CMD assoziiert waren . Die dritte Studie war eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse der Erfahrungen von Piloten, die die quantitativen Ergebnisse aller fünf Studien und die Theorie der Allostase perfekt bestätigte. Die Studien 4, 5 und 6 verglichen Gruppen von Piloten. Australische Piloten waren etwas stärker betroffen als EASA-basierte Piloten. Kurzstreckenpiloten von Billigfliegern waren am stärksten betroffen und berichteten von übermäßiger Müdigkeit, den meisten Schlafproblemen, den meisten Symptomen von Depressionen, Angstzuständen und CMD sowie dem am stärksten beeinträchtigten Wohlbefinden. Diese ersten sechs explorativen Studien wurden nicht finanziert, haben aber wichtige neue Forschungsthemen identifiziert. Diese komplexen, neuen Ergebnisse sollten die Grundlage für zukünftige Forschungen zu Ermüdung, Gesundheit und Flugsicherheit von Piloten im Allgemeinen sein.

QF32 is the award winning bestseller from Richard de Crespigny, author of the forthcoming Fly!: Life Lessons from the Cockpit of QF32 On 4 November 2010, a flight from Singapore to Sydney came within a knife edge of being one of the world's worst air disasters. Shortly after leaving Changi Airport, an explosion shattered Engine 2 of Qantas flight QF32 - an Airbus A380, the largest and most advanced passenger plane ever built. Hundreds of pieces of shrapnel ripped through the wing and fuselage, creating chaos as vital flight systems and back-ups were destroyed or degraded. In other hands, the plane might have been lost with all 469 people on board, but a supremely experienced flight crew, led by Captain Richard de Crespigny, managed to land the crippled aircraft and safely disembark the passengers after hours of nerve-racking effort. Tracing Richard's life and career up until that fateful flight, QF32 shows exactly what goes into the making of a top-level airline pilot, and the extraordinary skills and training needed to keep us safe in the air. Fascinating in its detail and vividly compelling in its narrative, QF32 is the riveting, blow-by-blow story of just what happens when things go badly wrong in the air, told by the captain himself.

Published in 1998, culture forms a complex framework of national, organizational, and professional attitudes and values within which groups and individuals function. The reality and strength of culture become salient when we work within a new group and interact with people who have well established norms and values. In this book the authors report the results of their ongoing exploration of the influences of culture in two professions, aviation and medicine. Their focus is on commercial airline pilots and operating room teams. Within these two environments they show the effect of professional, national and organizational cultures of individual attitudes and values and team interaction.

Adverse aircraft-pilot coupling (APC) events include a broad set of undesirable and sometimes hazardous phenomena that originate in anomalous interactions between pilots and aircraft. As civil and military aircraft technologies advance, interactions between pilots and aircraft are becoming more complex. Recent accidents and other incidents have been attributed to adverse APC in military aircraft. In addition, APC has been implicated in some civilian incidents. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about adverse APC and processes that may be used to eliminate it from military and commercial aircraft. It was written for technical, government, and administrative decisionmakers and their technical and administrative support staffs; key technical managers in the aircraft manufacturing and operational industries; stability and control engineers; aircraft flight control system designers; research specialists in flight control, flying qualities, human factors; and technically knowledgeable lay readers.
