Pilot fatigue is one of the more common factors in aviation accidents. Addressing pilot fatigue requires understanding how
it is caused, its impacts on the pilot and other aircraft crew, and the physiological and mental factors it encompasses. Pilots who are knowledgeable about fatigue can assess whether
or not they are too tired to fly. That assessment can save lives. Pilot fatigue is often a factor not just in-the-air
accidents but also in ground accidents. Indeed, on-the-ground accidents relating to pilot fatigue are among the more common types of aviation accidents. So too are fatalities resulting from
those accidents. Runway incursions, in fact, are not that uncommon of an occurrence. In 2004 in the U.S. alone, under then current definitions of incursions, there were 327
runway incursions (Hughes, 2005). Runways are a prime environment for accidents. Tremendous amounts of information is being exchanged between the
planes, ground control, air control, and possibly other entities. The environment is fast paced and has a high potential for confusion. The inadvertent loss of situation awareness, of
where a plane is in relationship to other traffic on the runway has obvious implications. This has been the case in more than one runway incursion. The most
