Abstract in brief

  • Controlled Rest (CR) is a voluntary, short nap taken by pilots during flight to combat fatigue, especially on long-haul flights.
  • The study found that pilots used CR in about 19% of flights, mainly on two-pilot crews, longer flights (~10 hours), and nighttime flights, with an average sleep duration of around 3 minutes during successful rests.
  • CR was more common in specific flight conditions, such as during return trips and night operations, but more research is needed to see if these findings apply across different airlines and flight types.
