【 摘 要 】

Fatigue in aviation is a critical field, since it will influence many passengers' safety. Garuda Indonesia is a Flag Carrier of the largest archipelago national, which cover three different time zones. This study aims at analyzing the airline pilot's fatigue contributors at Boeing 737 fleet, the short to medium haul flight operation workhorse of Garuda Indonesia, which fly domestic and regional flights. While in the aviation industry, most of the human factors related fatigue research focused on long-haul pilots, since the exposure of their duties towards jet-lag. However, short-haul pilots experience of flight operation of less than 8 hours flight time per flight sector, multiple flight sectors a day, with the set of two pilots for each rotation pattern causes their elevated levels of fatigue. Classification of fatigue are; physical decline, mental decline, and rest defects. Fatigue of Garuda Indonesia's Boeing 737 pilot is affected by; duty assignment, personal lifestyle, work environment, rest environment, unresolved stress, and illness. Finding the variables and the phenomenon can also contribute to pilot fatigue management.
