If you're attending NBAA 2016, stop by our booth to see first hand how easy it is to identify fatigue risk and explore mitigation options using our Aviation Fatigue Meter tools.

On Tuesday of the event, check out the presentation given by our chief scientist Dr. Daniel Mollicone where he'll cover the development of Standard Operating Procedures to track and mitigate fatigue in maintenance operations.

Session Description:
Fatigue management among aviation maintenance workers is critical to ensure that repairs and maintenance are performed in a safe and reliable manner. Long hours, night work and traveling across multiple time zones are common in maintenance operations. These fatigue stressors contribute to deficits in alertness, cognitive function, and judgement. This presentation will present standard operating procedures to mitigate fatigue in aviation maintenance. Such procedures include evaluating projected fatigue based on past and upcoming duty schedules and selecting appropriate countermeasures when fatigue limits are exceeded. Examples include limiting work hours at night, creating protected recovery periods after fatiguing shifts, assigning prophylactic napping, and strategic caffeine use.

Learning/Skill Objectives:
Attendees will learn how to develop Standard Operating Procedures to track and mitigate fatigue in maintenance operations.

Intended Audience:
Aircraft Maintenance workers and managers
