After several short nights of sleep, what kind of failure is a remote pilot most at risk of during a routine flight?
- A.Over-controlling the aircraft with excessive inputs
- B.Brief attention lapses and missed cues, such as not noticing a low-battery alert or approaching traffic
- C.Sudden improvement in multitasking ability
Correct answer
C. Sudden improvement in multitasking ability
Why
Sleep loss attacks sustained attention first, producing micro-lapses in which obvious cues go unseen. Routine, quiet phases of flight are where those lapses are most likely and most dangerous.
