Aerospace Notebook: New attention paid to aircrew fatigue
Seattle Post Intelligencer
When air traffic control asked the captain if there was an emergency he replied: “No we must have missed a handoff or missed a call or something. After the plane landed the captain told the first officer to prepare the plane for its next flight. The captain left the plane and contacted the Federal Aviation Administration by phone to report that the flight had lost radio contact because the crew had selected the wrong radio frequency. The captain returned to the plane and he and the first officer discussed whether they were K to operate the next flight. The pilots decided they were alert enough to fly. But during that next flight the pilots further discussed the sleep incident and decided they would remove themselves from duty when the plane landed. The first officer later told investigators he had never before fallen asleep in the cockpit during a flight.
