Question #14:

How does jet lag influence passenger and pilot behavior.

Answer:

Jet lag seriously influences passenger and pilot behavior. Jet lag is a feeling of tiredness due to crossing multiple time zones. It can cause disorientation, sleeping and eating problems, and loss of concentration. Cumulative fatigue increases the risk of errors in communication and checklist execution. That is why, airlines use flight time limitations and fatigue risk management systems to mitigate these effects. As for pilots and passangers, It is important to reduce the influence of jet lag by doing exercise, taking regular vacations, avoiding excessive workload and stress, keeping youself in fit, maintaining a healthy diet, and leading a healthy lifestyle.
