Drone exam · Human performance limitations

A pilot accepts a dawn roof inspection after sleeping only three hours. The weather is calm and the aircraft is ready. What should the pilot decide before launch?

Answer

The pilot should treat fatigue as a safety hazard and delay, hand over, simplify, or cancel if attention and judgment may be impaired.

Explanation

Good weather does not cancel human limits. Fatigue quietly weakens scanning, memory, patience, and decision quality.
