Airline pilots falling asleep in cockpit because of fatigue - Telegraph: The findings of a study by Simon Bennett of Leicester University, has
rekindled fears that passenger safety could be put at risk by pilot fatigue.
While the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA has tightened rules
governing flying hours following a crash in Buffalo, New York in which 50
people died, the European Aviation Safety Agency is looking to relax British
regulations to bring them into line with other parts of the EU.
Two pilots speaking to the Daily Telegraph on condition of anonymity, admitted
they had nodded off in the cockpit.
