Welcome to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA)

Flight Attendant Work/Rest Patterns, Alertness, and Performance Assessment

Dear Flight Attendant,

The U.S. Congress and the President have directed the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City to conduct research concerning fatigue among U. S. flight attendants. To this end, the FAA, in cooperation with the Institutes for Behavior Resources (IBR), is conducting a Field Study on activity, sleep, and mental fatigue experienced by US flight attendants. Initially, we sought 210 volunteers for this multi-week study. To date, 124 volunteers have completed the study. Our request at this time is for an additional 86 volunteers, with a majority needed from low cost carriers.
