Strategies to Overcome Fatigue in Air Traffic Control Based on Stress Management
Open accessAbstract
Safety and health at work are extremely important, yet they still appear to be one of the most neglected factors in the aviation industry.Almost 90% of accidents that occur in the workplace are due to human errors.While studies suggest that the lack of skills and experience among workers can significantly increase the prevalence of human errors, few studies actually investigate how stress and fatigue can affect human error.Hence, this study aims to explore the significance of the effects of stress and fatigue and work on human error in aviation industry.Questionnaires were developed and distributed to several air traffic control units across China and Eastern Europe.A total of 73 questionnaire responses were collected.The responses were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics.It was found that fatigue and stress play a major role in the work of air traffic controllers.Research showed that pressure with 58.90%, fatigue with a total of 60.30%, and shift work with 76.70% are the main stressors among ATCOs.The results of this study are highlighting main areas of concern and can act as useful guidance for further research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-02, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-02 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
