night ops, vision imaging systems, mission delays, personal equipment and aviation life
support systems (ALSS), duration of the duty period, quality and duration of sleep (prior
duty day), number of hours flown during the previous several duty periods, time of day
relative to the body's internal circadian clock, degree of circadian desynchrony (jet lag),
physical health, additional duties, misuse of alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, or dietary
supplements and adequacy of crew rest facilities.
