7 April 2011One in five pilots suffer from fatigue in the cockpit at least once a week, a study carried out by University College London (UCL) suggests.
The British pilots’ union Balpa is worried the situation will get worse if European proposals regarding flying hours come into force.
But European authorities claim the proposed changes will not lead to a reduction in safety.
