To Be Held at Beginning of Convention (not End)
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will hold a
two-day Fatigue Management Workshop next Sunday and Monday, October
5 and 6, in conjunction with the NBAA 56th Annual Meeting &
Convention, to be held October 7 to 9 in Orlando (FL). The workshop
will address fatigue in corporate flight operations. Dr. Mark
Rosekind, president and chief scientist of Alertness Solutions,
will be joined by co-presenter John Goglia, member of the National
Transportation Safety Board, and Dr. Melissa Mallis, principal
investigator, NASA Fatigue Countermeasures Group.
The NBAA Fatigue Management Workshop will provide participants
with knowledge and information they can apply directly to improving
the safety of their flight departments. Presentations will provide
an overall understanding of fatigue, its consequences for safety,
performance, productivity and mood, as well as countermeasures for
managing fatigue in corporate flight operations. Participants will
learn how to apply new information and principles learned using
actual flight scenarios and interactive breakout sessions.
The issue of fatigue
has been recognized in corporate aviation as an important factor in
operational safety. A NASA study conducted by Dr. Rosekind titled A
Survey of Fatigue Factors in Corporate/Executive Aviation
Operations found that 85 percent of corporate operators
identified fatigue as a "moderate" or "serious" safety
issue. The current generation of ultra long-range aircraft
brings new physiological challenges to the human operator.
Long-range flight operations can lead to fatigue, disruption of
sleep and circadian rhythms, and degraded human performance.
To help corporate flight departments and safety auditors assess
a department's vulnerability to fatigue, Alertness Solutions
developed the Alertness Management Safety Evaluation
(AMSE) tool, which will be distributed to all Attendees of the
Fatigue Management Workshop. It also is available as a free PDF
download from the Alertness Solutions web site.
Space is still available to attend the NBAA Fatigue Management
Workshop. Separate payment is required for this event, which
includes registration for the NBAA Convention and Static Display of
Aircraft. (The cost for Members is $700 and for non-Members is
$825.)
