A recent survey revealed that only 11.9% of pilots trust how airlines handle fatigue reports. The European Cockpit Association calls for stricter regulations and non-punitive reporting. Three-quarters of pilots experienced at least one episode of microsleep in the past month, raising concerns about safety. Many pilots feel pressured to fly despite fatigue, with nearly half fearing repercussions for reporting their condition. The study highlights significant differences in reporting behaviors across countries, with Spanish pilots being the most likely to fly while fatigued. The ECA urges the European Union Aviation Safety Agency to strengthen fatigue management rules.
