Brief Description:
Join us for A VIRTUAL cup of coffee, a donut, and a LIVE WEBINAR as Chris Baur and colleagues discuss fatigue in helicopter operations.
Fatigue is an often underreported but significant risk factor in helicopter operations:
- Since 1990, NTSB has conducted 6,561 helicopter accident investigations
- While only 33 investigations explicitly cited fatigue or lack of sleep as a contributing factor, this likely understates the true impact
- Based on other industries, fatigue is estimated to be a factor in 1 in 5 incidents
- Subjective self assessments are often inaccurate because those with sleep debt often understimate their alertness deficit

Aviation safety will be discussed, and is central to the content of this presentation.
