Doctors who specialise in air traffic medicine say they are deeply shocked at the results of a survey of fatigue among pilots, adding that long working days and nights are a safety hazard for passengers and must urgently be addressed.
“It is lucky that a plane with a Danish pilot has not yet crashed because he was too tired to take the right decision in a critical situation. It is only a question of time before we see Fatal accident,” says Chief Physician Mogens Tangø of the Department of Aviation Medicine at Rigshospitalet.
