The plane takes off in the dark, the time zones come one after the other and the flight - after many hours - lands in the dark at the destination. One of the pilots falls asleep. Under controlled conditions. No problem with that. But sometimes it happens when they both fall asleep behind the dashboard. Countless environmental factors work against the staff at this time. But what can be done when the pilots do not answer the air traffic controller's call? A few weeks ago, an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 flew over the destination airport because both pilots were dozing off. In May, the crew of an Italian plane did not report to the French controllers because everyone was dozing behind the dashboard. When and how can you sleep at travel height? What are the rules for short-haul flights and how can crew rest when there is more than 16 hours between take-off and landing? Where can pilots even take a nap on narrow-body planes and on the largest passenger planes? We'll show you that too.
