In the podcast we cover: 

  • How fatigue impacts ATCOs and what the typical fatigue level is 
  • Tips on how to manage fatigue and why it's so crucial to do so 
  • Clarifying what fatigue management is, as well as how to measure and take corrective measures on preventing it altogether 
  • A closer look at how the COVID-19 crisis impacts ATCOs fatigue 
  • The connection between fatigue in the cockpit and fatigue at the control sector 
  • How fatigue management is set to change in the next 5 years and in the next 50 years
