There are many types of heart problems, and all are significant to aviators. ALPA reports that 23% of almost 10,000 pilots contacting their offices each year do so for cardiovascular disease. Continues monitoring of wellness and cardiovascular health combined with early alerting effective regimes, and health programs, can reduce these staggering numbers of professional burnout and increase employee retention.
For years, pilot fatigue has been a real issue. Airline pilots, as well as cargo, corporate, and charter pilots, can all face fatigue while on the job. While pilot fatigue can be common and overlooked, it poses a very troubling threat to aviation safety and should be taken seriously.
There is a long history of debates between regulatory agencies, airline pilots and unions, and aircraft operators over pilot fatigue issues. Today, the issue is still being argued as the industry tries to find a common solution to decrease the risks associated with fatigue.
Voluntary reporting systems polling pilots indicate that as many as 50% of the pilots surveyed experienced fatigue as impairing their ability to perform well while on duty. Pick up any aviation safety magazine and you will find reports that list fatigue as a major concern for not only pilots but ground crew and support teams, as well. So what can be done about it?
