This Briefing Leaflet expands on IFALPA Position Paper 18POS01 addressing helicopter flight deck ergonomics. Fatigue and physical discomfort have a negative influence on human performance.

IFALPA supports the importance of crash worthiness, but believes that flight deck ergonomics is equally important.
