On February 14, the International Business Aviation Council, (IBAC) as part of its SafetyNet series of live Internet programs, will sponsor a free webinar on the topic of fatigue in corporate aviation. The hour-and-a-half presentation will be led by Daniel Mollicone, Ph.D., CEO, and co-founder of Philadelphia-based sleep science researcher Pulsar Informatics, and will explore how fatigue can affect every aspect of flight operations, including flight and cabin crew as well as the maintenance technicians and ramp personnel who ensure that the aircraft is ready for flight.

Unmanaged fatigue can endanger the safety of operations, damaging a company’s reputation, according to the company. Among the expected learning points in the webinar are learning about human fatigue principles, identifying fatigue risks across the entire operation, possible mitigation procedures aimed at addressing problem areas, and reviewing actual examples of operational fatigue to help attendees reflect on their own safety cultures.
