Abstract
The aim of this study was trying to analyze flight fatigue risks and find out a systematic solution for risk controlling. Firstly the model of Human Information Processing was introduced to analyze fatigue manifestations and risks in flight operation. Secondly causes leading to flight fatigue were specified from the 4 aspects of personal, organizational and social factors. Thirdly a framework of controlling flight fatigue risk was put forward in the systematic perspective. The framework contains three levels which are Fatigue Contributing Factor Level, Fatigue Measurement Level and Fatigue Prevention Countermeasure Level. Then a Fatigue Measurement and Warning System was worked out as a case study. Finally it concluded that flight fatigue is an important and long-term issue in aviation transportation industry, the systematic solution proposed in this paper is effective but there is a long way to go for implementing it.
