The development of the aviation industry and the changes in the military operation mission environment are demanding more long - distance operation (long - time flight), and such a flying environment is a risk factor for fatigue - related accidents. For the aviation related organizations such as ICAO and FAA, fatigue risk management system (FRMS) are applied along with flight time restriction regulations to prevent fatigue related accidents. The most important process in FRMS is fatigue risk management. Fatigue risk management systematically manages fatigue through scientific fatigue risk data collection and fatigue risk assessment. The purpose of this study is to applicate the assessment of scientific fatigue risk management to pilots of airplanes engaged in long flight. We reviewed the current state of risk management and FRMS through previous research. We also developed fatigue risk management indicators and examined the validity of internationally recognized fatigue risk data collection methods and fatigue risk assessment tools. There are 134 mission (flight) data used for development. In order to verify the indicators, the fatigue risk score between the items was assigned through pair-wise comparison. In addition, the verify test results were normalized.

Pilot fatigue is a great hazard to aviation safety. In recent years, long-distance fights have been increasing and flight hours have been increasing, which has made fatigue issues important. International organizations in the aviation sectors (ICAO, FAA, IATA etc.) recommend management of fatigue within the SMS (Safety Management System) framework. A scientific and systematic approach to measuring fatigue is required as a prerequisite to preparing safety management measures for pilot's fatigue. Therefore, in this study, I would like to consider recent trends and implications for fatigue measurement. First, I aimed to consider recent the accident cases related to fatigue. Second, I also considered how to measure the pilot's fatigue. Finally, the direction of the countermeasures against fatigue through fatigue measurement was developed and suggested.

Purpose: This study was designed to construct a structural model for symptom management of life of the patients with chronic fatigue. The hypothetical model was developed based on the literature review and Self-regulating Model. Method: Data were collected by questionnaires from 252 patients with chronic fatigue in the 8 community from December 2002 to April 2003 in Seoul. Data analysis was done with SAS for descriptive statistics and PC-LISREL Program for Covariance structural analysis. Result: The fit of the hypothetical model to the data was moderate, thus it was modified by excluding 4 path and including free parameters and 3 path to it The modified model with path showed a good fitness to the empirical data($x^2$=318.11, p=0.0, GFI=.98, AGFI=.98, NNFI=.95, RMSR=.03, RMSEA=.05). The symptoms of stress, self-efficacy, and present fatigue level were found to have significant direct effect on symptom management of the patients with chronic fatigue. The ways of coping, perceived stress, and fatigue symptom were found to have indirect effects on symptom management of the patients with chronic fatigue. Conclusion: The derived model is considered appropriate in explaining and predicting symptom management of the patients with chronic fatigue. Therefore, it can effectively be used as a reference model for further studies and suggested direction in nursing practice.

The fatigue has been considered the most failure mode of metal, ceramic, and composite materials. In this paper, numerical experiments to asses the usefulness of two Dixon's methods(small and large samples) and 14 S-N methods on assumptions of lognormal fatigue limit distribution under RFL(Random Fatigue Limit) model are conducted for staircase(or up-and-down) test and compared by MSE(Mean Squared Error) and bias for estimates of mean log-fatigue limit. Also, guidelines for staircase test plans to choose initial stress level and step size are recommended from numerical experiments including sensitivity analyses. In addition, the parametric bootstrap method to construct a confidence interval for the mean of log-fatigue limit by the percentile method using a transition probability matrix of Markov chain is presented and illustrated with an example.

The fatigue has been considered to the most important failure mode where optimal design or reliability prediction of the machinery in aircraft, atomic reactors, and structure systems, etc., is required. When the statistical analysis of fatigue life data is performed, some difficulties are present because of the following facts : nonlinear relationship, heteroscedastic data, large scatter in the data, censored data (runouts), and existence of fatigue limit. To find the S-N curve models that characterize fatigue strength better, this research compares existing fatigue curve models developed recently in terms of the residual mean square and the estimate of fatigue limit, etc. for various fatigue data sets.

승무원의 피로로 인한 항공기 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 종합적인 안전체계 구축이 필요하며 승무원에 대한 보다 과학적인 피로관리가 요구된다. 최근 ICAO, FAA, EASA는 조종사 피로관리 증진을 위하여 심층 연구와 함께 법규 개정작업을 활발히 진행하고 있다. 승무원 피로관리에 대한 국제 표준 및 권고방식 (SARPs)은 ICAO Annex 6에 근거를 두고 있다. 승무원 피로관리 관련하여 각 체약국의 적용기준의 근간이 되는 Annex 6의 피로관리 내용은 초판 발행(1969년) 이후 약 40년 동안 주목할 만한 개정 내용이 없었다. 그러나 최근 피로관리 중요성 부각과 함께, 2009년 Annex 6 33A 개정 시 근무시간 제한 추가 및 피로관리 가이드가 반영 되었고, 이어서 2011년 Annex 6 35차 개정 시 승무원에 대한 피로위험관리(FRMS) 적용 근거를 마련하는 획기적인 변화가 있었다. Annex 6에 의하면, 승무원 피로관리를 위하여 항공당국은 두 가지 기준 수립 의무가 있으며 운영자는 세 가지 적용기준 중 택일하여 준수할 의무를 가진다. 즉, 항공당국은 두 가지 ((1) 비행시간 비행근무시간 근무시간 제한 및 휴식시간 기준, (2) 피로위험관리(FRMS) 규정) 기준 수립을 해야 하고, 항공사는 항공당국이 수립한 기준을 근거로 세 가지 ((1) 비행시간 비행근무시간 근무시간 제한 및 휴식시간 기준 적용, (2) FRMS 적용 (3) 비행시간 비행근무시간 근무시간 제한 및 휴식시간 기준과 FRMS 적용 혼용) 중 택일하여 승무원 피로관리 기준을 준수한다. ICAO 동향에 맞추어 FAA는 미 의회의 'Airline Safety and FAA Extension Act of 2010' 통과로 우선 피로위험관리플랜(FRMP) 제도를 도입하였으며, 미연방항공법 개정 입법예고(NPRM)에 이어 최종 법규(Final rule)를 공포하여 2014.1.4.부터는 Flag, Domestic, Supplemental operations 시 승무원이 각각 다르게 적용하던 차이가 없어지고 동일한 기준을 적용하게 된다. 또한 EASA는 승무원 피로관리 관련하여 EASA 회원국이 준수할 진일보한 통합규정안을 입법예고(NPA)했으며 조만간 최종 법규 확정 및 적용이 예상된다. 국제민간항공협약 체약국인 한국도 상기와 같은 국제 환경 변화에 대응하여 SARPs에 입각한 제도 보완 및 항공법규에 승무원 피로관리 적용기준 마련이 불가피하다. 따라서 국제민간항공협약 Annex에서 정한 승무원 피로관리의 구체적인 내용과 발전과정을 고찰하고, 승무원 피로관리에 대한 주요 현안 및 쟁점사항에 대하여 최근 ICAO, FAA, EASA 기준을 심층 비교분석한 결과를 토대로 국내 기준 도입 방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문이 현 제도의 미흡한 부분을 보완하고 불합리한 제한기준을 과감히 삭제하는데 도움을 주고, 아울러 국제 표준 준수 및 항공안전 발전에 기여하길 기대한다. 합리적인 피로관리 기준 수립 및 이행방법에 있어 가장 중요한 요소는 모든 관계자들의 협조체계 구축을 통한 기준 도입 및 효율적인 적용이다. 항공당국은 법규 제정자나 감독관이 아닌 전문가적 조언자나 파트너로 전환해야 하며, 운영자는 다양한 피로요인 관리 필요성을 인식하고 적용하여야 하며, 승무원은 피로에 대하여 책임감을 가지고 피로관리를 해야 한다. 법규 제정자, 전문가, 과학자, 운영자, 승무원 및 노사가 상호 신뢰를 바탕으로 함께 개선코자 노력할 때 실질적인 개선 및 질적 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

The importance of human factors has been emphasized for pilots because most of aviation accidents have been caused by the human factors of pilots. Human factors issues such as fatigue affecting flight safety are needed to be educated to student pilots who have less experience in flight training. In order to prevent aviation accidents caused by human factors, the management of stress, fatigue, and obsessive-compulsive disorder which increase psychological harmful factors of student pilots, is essential for aviation safety. The management of fatigue is required as a part of safety management system following the guidance of leading aviation authorities. The purpose of this article was to investigate the factors of fatigue at each stage by classifying it into before, during, and after flight training to manage the fatigue of students pilots. Then, the factors of relatively high fatigue were analyzed by using the AHP process to provide factors related fatigue affecting pilot training.

Background: Disabling fatigue is common in the working age population. It is essential that occupational health (OH) professionals are up-to-date with the management of fatigue in order to reduce the impact of fatigue on workplace productivity. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of one-day workshops on OH professionals' knowledge of fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and their confidence in diagnosing and managing these in a working population. Methods: Five interactive problem-based workshops were held in the United Kingdom. These workshops were developed and delivered by experts in the field. Questionnaires were self-administered immediately prior to, immediately after, and 4 months following each workshop. Questionnaires included measures of satisfaction, knowledge of fatigue and CFS, and confidence in diagnosing and managing fatigue. Open-ended questions were used to elicit feedback about the workshops. Results: General knowledge of fatigue increased significantly after training (with a 25% increase in the median score). Participants showed significantly higher levels of confidence in diagnosing and managing CFS (with a 62.5% increase in the median score), and high scores were maintained 4 months after the workshops. OH physicians scored higher on knowledge and confidence than nurses. Similarly, thematic analysis revealed that participants had increased knowledge and confidence after attending the workshops. Conclusion: Fatigue can lead to severe functional impairment with adverse workplace outcomes. One-day workshops can be effective in training OH professionals in how to diagnose and manage fatigue and CFS. Training may increase general knowledge of fatigue and confidence in fatigue management in an OH setting.

This study was to investigate the relationship of VDT(visual display terminal) work condition and fatigue severity in the financial office workers. Questionnaires were completed by 662 persons in VDT workers of Post Office from January to May 2006. Multidimensional Fatigue Scale(MFS) that was developed in Korea Occupational Safety &Health Agency to estimate the degree of fatigue was used for study. In results, 149 persons(22.5%) in VDT workers were felt low fatigue severity, 351 workers(53.0%) were middle, and 162 workers (24.5%) were high. So it was appeared that one in four VDT workers felt the high fatigue severity. And woman VDT workers felt more fatigue severity than man. Also, fatigue severity was increased with increasing work time. Our findings suggest that VDT workers in financial office need proper health program to prevent occupational fatigue and disease.
