Around 75% in a survey of European pilots said they'd taken a "microsleep" in recent weeks. Pilots said their airlines didn't manage fatigue risk well and it was difficult to file fatigue reports. AdvertisementAdvertisementSome European pilots are suffering from exhaustion and taking "microsleeps" while operating aircraft to cope, a new survey reveals. Nearly a third said that fatigue risk was not managed well, with pilots flying for UK and Ireland-based airlines most likely to say this. "These are worrying signs and clear indications that fatigue safety risks are not well managed in many European airlines," ECA President Otjan de Bruijn said in a statement.

☆ European regulator rules out single-pilot flying by 2030

However, Boiardi said an earlier proposal from the industry for totally single-pilot flying by 2030 was "absolutely not realistic", because automation had not advanced far enough and solo flying required a level of safety equivalent to existing operations. Solo flying, even in cruise, needs approval from the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization, individual airlines and their pilot unions. Even limited solo flying, however, is dividing airlines and raising public fears, while sparking a growing backlash among pilot groups like the European Cockpit Association. Airbus said in a statement it was studying the concept of a single pilot in the cruise phase but not wholly single-pilot flights. Consumer resistance, however, could result in single-pilot flying starting with cargo flights, industry officials said.
