A critical approach to fatigue risk factors in cockpit and cabin crew for the flight safety in aviation industry

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a critical approach to flight safety by assessing theoretical and empirical studies on fatigue risk factors in cockpit and cabin crew. This paper also builds a fundamental basis for managing fatigue risk factors in aviation industry. The maincontribution of the paper demonstrates the fact that primary and secondary fatigue risk factors in cockpit and cabin crew affect the level of job satisfaction, operational efficiency and flight security.
