Fatigue Management Fundamentals (e-learning)

About the Course

Fatigue degrades various types of human performance and is inevitable in a 24/7 industry like aviation.

It is a very real hazard that is a prime causal factor in many accidents and is associated with many functions of operations. Regulators therefore require that fatigue be included in safety analysis. Consequently, more and more airlines, ANSPs, and service providers are actively managing fatigue.

This eLearning course on Fatigue Management will provide you with foundational knowledge in the domain. You will gain a clear understanding that fatigue cannot be eliminated, so it must be managed. Learn how to analyze and mitigate fatigue to reduce exposure to accidents and manage your operations to fatigue risk. Among others, this will enable you to know where you can increase your duty and where you need to reduce it.
