Neville, Kelly J., Bisson, Roger U., French, Jonathan, Martinez, Johnnie and Storm, William F. (1994): A Study of the Effects of Repeated 36-Hour Simulated Missions on B-1B Aircrew Members. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 51-55.

“The military goal of Global Reach - Global Power entails an unprecedented dependence on immediate and sustained long range bombing campaigns. This research effort was initiated to evaluate the feasibility of this type of long range operation by studying the effects of multiple long duration missions on bomber aircrews. Measures of cognitive performance, mood, fatigue, and sleep management suggest that crews learned to adapt to the missions. However, cognitive performance deteriorated during the early morning hours of each mission and expert ratings of flight deck performance suggest that some components of performance may have been negatively impacted by the repeated missions. This research contributes to the base of information that may be used to make operational risk decisions and suggests ways to reduce schedule-related risks. It also explores the effects of sustained operations on complex tasks, as well as on simple tasks, and explores the use of multiple data collection techniques in a non-laboratory setting.”

Neville, Kelly J., French, Jonathan, Bisson, Roger U., Boll, Patricia A. and Storm, William F. (1992): Sleep and Flight Duration Effects on the Subjective Fatigue of Pilots during Operation Desert Storm. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 102-105.

“Subjective fatigue of 11 C-141 pilots serving in the United States Air Force Military Airlift Command (MAC) during the Desert Storm campaign was assessed in a 30-day field study. Subjective fatigue measures were obtained from pilots at the beginning and end of each duty day using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) fatigue dimension. Also, a 7-point fatigue rating was recorded every 4 hours. The two fatigue measures were each evaluated with respect to (1) 48-hr cumulative flight time, (2) 48-hr cumulative sleep time and (3) 30-day cumulative flight time. The data indicate that at least 15 hours of sleep per 48-hr time period is needed to avoid pilot fatigue. Recent flight time was also found to be related to subjective fatigue, but this relationship seems rooted loss of sleep during long flights. Cumulative 30-day flight time, which is the measure currently used to regulate flight hours, was not related to increases in subjective fatigue.”
