Impacto do excesso de jornada de trabalho na segurança e desempenho operacional na aviação executiva

Abstract

This research analyzed the working hours of executive aviation pilots and their direct impact on operational safety. Through an extensive review of the literature and analysis of data from the SIPAER Panel, a significant gap in knowledge on the subject was identified in the national context. The research highlighted fatigue as a critical factor in the occurrence of accidents in executive aviation, due to the flexible nature of operations and the possibility of long and night flights. To mitigate these risks, interventions were proposed, such as the implementation of a tool that measures time on the SIGMA platform and the creation of a more intransigent inspection system. The research highlights the need for collaboration between all stakeholders, including ANAC, airlines and unions, for the effective implementation of the proposed measures. It is concluded that the working hours of pilots are a determining factor for the operational safety of executive aviation and that future studies are needed to deepen knowledge on the subject and evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested interventions.
