Title: Viewing Fatigue in Regional Air Carrier Flight Operations Through the Lens of Safety Culture
Accession Number: 01363046
Record Type: Component
Abstract: This paper describes a study of fatigue perceptions in flight operations in US regional air carriers using a safety culture survey for aviation operations. Flight operational employees of 4 regional air carriers (N = 2053) participated in safety culture assessments using the Safety Culture Indicator Scale Measurement System. While it was hypothesized that recent attention to fatigue management principle in each carrier would prompt positive responses, improvements in practice and employee perceptions, the original supposition did not prove accurate. Results from analyses and respondent comments suggest substandard scale scores regarding fatigue issues in the regional carriers studied. Issues identified represent misaligned perceptions between air carrier leadership and pilots, increased operational pressures, and the vulnerability on part of the pilots to assure they are supported to consistently achieve fitness for duty.
