Is It Safe for Pilots to Sleep in the Cockpit?

If I tell you that, before, pilots did sleep in the cockpit, and it is safer rather than riskier for pilots as well as passengers, it might bring shivers down your spine. A pilot sleeping mid-flight is both legal and crucial. Fatigue is widely recognized as a substantial risk to flight safety, and more crashes result from fatigue than from pilots falling asleep. Most countries use several fatigue mitigation techniques for pilots, ranging from minimum rest requirements to medical countermeasures. The efficacy of these methods can be questioned, however, when considering the results of several studies that show 56% to 75% of commercial pilots have admitted to falling asleep in-flight.

Why Your Daughter Should Consider Becoming a Pilot or Drone Expert?

Thinking of becoming a commercial pilot or a drone pilot as a girl, yes, you can think that way in contemporary times. As of 2024, there were nearly 15% of women pilots in India, which is significantly higher than the global average of 5%. With 1,767 women commercial pilots out of a total workforce of 10,000, it marks a clear increase in women's participation in aviation. These numbers reflect growing opportunities for women, along with national momentum toward embracing gender equality in aviation. Drone piloting is also a field where women are making their presence felt.   Drone pilot numbers in India surged from a mere 346 in July 2022 to more than 5,000 by July 2023. Although women's participation was limited until then, the Namo Drone Didi Scheme is an initiative aimed at training 15,000 rural women and providing them with drones for agricultural spraying. These milestones reveal a clear opportunity: a daughter considering a career as a commercial or drone pilot is the way forward.

Why Can We Not Use Autopilot All the Time in Aviation?

If aeroplanes have autopilot systems, then what is the need for pilots? The autopilot systems are extremely sophisticated and can handle the entire flight. But is it the full reality?   No, the reality is much more complex. While automation has a big role to play in modern aviation, there are reasons why we cannot depend entirely on autopilot systems.
