As the European pilots clash with the law on fatigue, the law on fatigue was introduced to protect the aviation pilots from exhausting work. But this regulation has also had a negative effect, as shown by recent data. A report of the European Cockpit Association (ECA) has highlighted that almost a quarter of European pilots continue to fly when they are too tired to do so.

This behavior could have a significant impact on the safety of aviation, since it can influence their judgment, reactions, and responses to emergencies. The pilots often suffer from pressure to exceed working limits and fear punishment if they release their incapability. Moreover, many have noticed that they cannot obtain a good amount of sleep to prevent the accumulation of fatigue.

Here are some interesting facts: - Especially captains and first officers are more vulnerable to the problem. - Only 24% of pilots have declared themselves too tired to fly. - Pilots have feared that the responsibility of fatigue has been overlooked by both parties: pilots and airlines. This phenomenon occurs in a time when airlines are trying to increase performance and performance, but do not consider the need to ensure the physical and mental health of their own pilots. The result is a security issue that requires an immediate solution.

The law on fatigue was introduced with the intention of protecting the aviation pilots from exhausting work, but this report highlights that this regulation has also had a negative effect. European pilots are forced to work for hours without ever releasing their ability to fly. This is a serious challenge that has led to the discovery of a problem that seems to be growing: most pilots do not release their incapacity when they are too tired to fly.
