abstract="A multiplicative and additive formula has been developed for assisting in the development of schedules for airline pilots and flight engineers. The formula is based on freshness/tiredness data derived from aircrews on world flights. It should materially assist those who develop the schedules to avoid, where possible, finalizing those crew patterns that would impose a severe physiologic load on cockpit personnel. The objective of the application of the formula is to assure that crew members retain adequate&quot;physiologic reserve&quot;in the course of flying various segments of a pattern. This enables them to absorb the stresses of schedule delays or disruptions, as well as unforeseen operational problems and flight emergencies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
