NASA-easyJet Collaboration on the Human Factors Monitoring Program (HFMP) Study

This is the second interim report jointly prepared by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and easyJet on the work performed under the agreement to collaborate on a study of the factors entailed in flight and cabin-crew fatigue, and decreases in performance associated with fatigue. The objective of this Agreement is to generate reliable procedures that aid in understanding the levels and characteristics of flight and cabin-crew fatigue factors, both latent and proximate, whose confluence will likely result in unacceptable crew performance. This study entails the analyses of numerical and textual data collected during operational flights. NASA and easyJet are both interested in assessing and testing NASA's automated capabilities for extracting operationally significant information from very large, diverse (textual and numerical) databases; much larger than can be handled practically by human experts. This report is about the analyses performed on the data collected during a third study conducted from 1 July through 25 August 2011 in which the voluntary participants were 22 pilots.
