Join us to hear Dr. Wright speak to us about the impact of fatigue on aviation safety including a case study of a famous mishap which was caused by aircrew fatigue.  There will also be a short look at sleep deprivation studies concerned with human (cognitive) performance, and then we will conclude with a discussion of some fatigue countermeasures. 

Doctor Bruce Wright is an Aerospace Physiologist with the Federal Aviation Administration, Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (FAA-CAMI) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  His current position is with the Aerospace Medical Education Division (AAM-400) which is responsible for conducting Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) training for physicians from around the world, and medical personnel from the U.S. military and other federal agencies. AAM-400 also trains airmen in global survival and how to manage physical and psychological stresses of flight such as hypoxia, spatial disorientation, fatigue, and dehydration. 

Prior to joining FAA-CAMI, Dr. Wright served as a civilian Senior Research Physiologist with the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.  Prior to that, he was an Air Force Aerospace Physiologist and he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 22 years of service.

Bruce earned the Doctor of Philosophy Degree, and the Master of Science Degree from Texas A&M University in College Station, TX.  His Bachelor of Science Degree is from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL.  He is board certified in Aerospace Physiology through the Aerospace Medical Association.  He is a private pilot with an instrument rating who is presently building his second experimental aircraft (RANS S-7S), and is a member of the Aerospace Medical Association, Aerospace Physiology Society, Experimental Aircraft Association, and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.

There will be time for Q&A after the presentation.
