AN INSIDER’S LOOK AT THE ISSUE OF TIRED PILOTS BY A RETIRED COMMERCIAL PILOT

Dead Tired reversed equals tired dead, and this reversal stands out as the primary theme of this book, namely the problem of tired pilots who wind up dead.
•The issue of tired pilots crashing airplanes is now out of the closet.
Unfortunately, it took an ugly accident (Continental Flight 3407 at Buffalo, New York, on January 12, 2009) to get the issue into front-and-center headlines.
•Dead Tired sheds additional light on the Buffalo catastrophe and offers the
reader an in-depth understanding of the ongoing, pilot-fatigue problem.
•This book also brings to light the FAA’s disregard for the safety and the well-being of cargo pilots by exempting them from the long-awaited revised rest and duty time rules.
•The accident and incident reports of tired-pilot crashes have been included
to present the case for a need for heightened awareness of the potential damage resulting from tired pilots in the cockpit.
•The added educational material related to sleep deprivation, its symptoms, and counter-measures are relevant for pilots, for professional drivers, and for any driver who has ever taken charge of automobile in a tired condition.
•Please fasten your seat belt and remain alert!
