How can skipping meals before and during a long operating day affect a remote pilot?
- A.Low blood sugar can cause shakiness, poor concentration, and irritable, rushed decisions
- B.It sharpens vision for screen work
- C.It has no effect because flying a drone is not physical work
Correct answer
A. Low blood sugar can cause shakiness, poor concentration, and irritable, rushed decisions
Why
The brain runs on a steady fuel supply, and long gaps in eating show up as fading concentration and patience. Eating sensibly during an operating day is part of fitness to fly, captured in the IMSAFE eating check.
