Abstract
With the start of the COVID-19 on 2020, in order to protect the flight crew who are operating in ultra-long-range routes, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has implemented temporary deviation approval for the flight time restrictions of some airlines. That is, multiple sets of crew members are allowed to fly back and forth in the form of rest on the plane without getting off the plane after landing overseas. This type of flight has been questioned by local regulators. China civil aviation was required to provide the proof of safety in this operation mode. Therefore, this study uses NASA TLX workloads scale and alertness monitoring tools to collect and analyze subjective and objective data of pilots in one airline of China. The study compares the data including before, during and after the flight duty to prove the feasibility of China current ultra-long-range flight. It found that the appropriate shift work can limit the perception of fatigue and workloads.
