What is a well-established effect of fatigue on a remote pilot's performance?
- A.Faster reactions but poorer camera work
- B.Slower reactions, lapses of attention, and poorer decisions, especially on routine tasks
- C.No effect until a full night of sleep is missed
Correct answer
B. Slower reactions, lapses of attention, and poorer decisions, especially on routine tasks
Why
Fatigue erodes vigilance and decision quality gradually, so routine monitoring is often where it shows first. Short lapses that seem harmless can coincide exactly with the moment a hazard appears.
