    • Aviation

Safety matters, a non governmental organisation based in India conducted a Safety Culture Survey beginning 16th Sept 2022 with the objective of assessing the prevailing safety culture in Indian aviation with the focus on pilot fatigue. The main aim of Safety Matters is to establish a generative safety culture. Fatigue poses an important safety risk to civil and military aviation. In addition to decreasing performance in-flight(chronic) fatigue has negative long term effects. Possible causes of fatigue include sleep loss, extended time awake, circadian phase irregularities and work load. A prescriptive flight and duty limitation does not address the effects of fatigue as well as a fatigue management system and countermeasures.
