The Pilot Fatigue Problem
Pilot fatigue has been a real problem since the beginning of air travel. Charles Lindbergh fought to stay awake on his record-breaking 33.5-hour transatlantic flight from New York to Paris on the Spirit of St. Louis. Longhaul pilots have reported falling asleep at the controls. Cargo pilots that fly at night face fatigue from challenging the body's natural internal clock.
The Lindbergh flight provides a great example for the real issue today that fatigue is an acceptable risk and one that isn't given enough credit. Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris without falling asleep. Similarly, pilots today get away with flying tired all the time. If you ask an average pilot how much sleep he got the night before a flight, it's probably on a par with the average American, which is about six and a half hours.
This might be an acceptable amount of sleep if you have a desk job.
