Jan 30, 2018

Abstract

Helicopter flight crew fatigue has a number of causal factors which are common to all flight crews, however, the helicopter flight deck presents particular challenges. These include high levels of noise, vibration, and ergonomic compromises as a result of the unique challenges of rotary operations.

This paper is supported by the Briefing Leaflet 18HELBL01 - Helicopter Flight Deck Ergonomics which expands on the position.
