Title:
105. Fatigue Risk Management in Air Medical Transport Operations

Track:
Safety/Aviation

Speakers:
Dr. Daniel Mollicone, Pulsar Informatics; Joe Gallagher, PHI Air Medical

Start Time: 
Monday, November 4 at 09:45 AM

Location:
CC C108

Overview: 
Fatigue risk impacts all personnel involved in air medical transport operations, including both air crew (pilots and clinical staff) as well as ground crew (mechanics and ramp personnel) whose mission-critical activities ensure safe and effective transports. It is well known that fatigue-related deficits impair performance. But how much fatigue is too much? This presentation will demonstrate tools and approaches to assess fatigue risk and crewmember fitness for duty. Benchmarks will be provided to assist organizations with setting up an objective quantitative framework to manage fatigue risk with clear thresholds to trigger fatigue mitigation workflows. Lessons learned will be presented from a fatigue risk management implementation in a large air medical transport operation.
