Reducing Pilot Fatigue through Avionics
Innovations in Flight Decks and Avionics Can Ease a Pilot’s Workload

In an effort to combat fatigue on the flight deck, the FAA has hosted fatigue symposiums, created a working group centered on sleep and fatigue awareness, published new Part 121 flight crew duty and rest requirements, and is working on similar new requirements for Part 135 operators. Essentially, the FAA’s approach to reducing fatigue in the cockpit is to advise pilots to get enough good sleep.
