Therefore, fatigue and circadian rhythms may be one of the main factors which can cause the communication error during the taxing time.ģ. As a result it is difficult for pilots to keep working efficiently while feeling sleepy. Pilots must deal with sleep deprivation while on nights as well the effect of the trough of the circadian rhythms. After 13 hours of flight journey when the aircraft touch down in JFK airport, those pilots in this aircraft crossed several time zones, irregular working period and noise will also disturb the sleep quality during the flying time. Fatigue will reduce the speed of brain reaction which has directly caused a lot of different errors. Fatigue after long time flight will cause the negative impact of communication.Īs we know the biggest enemy in aviation safety it is the pilot fatigue. It can be clearly seen that the Air China 981 pilot could not understand the English properly when he was replying to air traffic controller.Ģ. However, due to the different cultural background, Asia pilots have difficulty to use and understand the language especially for those elder pilots. Under ICAO (International Civic Aviation Organization) requirement, all the aircraft operating in international airspace should use English as official language for communication. There may be a lack of English skills from the pilots in command. Some factors may cause Air China 981 pilot to communication error:ġ. (Video embedded from YouTube on 22 August 2010) However, it still remains people to identify the communication error characteristics that led to the incident and then to modify the new efficiency way of communication that can eliminate the simulator problem or minimize the impact for future events. From an international airline operation perspective, we can not blame which one is wrong or right in this case. The following paragraph was retrieved from voice record of JFK airport between Air China and ATC communication.įortunately, the communication error did not cause any people to be injured or equipment damage in this case. However, the conversation wasn’t progress fluently by varies reason. JFK ATC is trying to lead the aircraft taxing from runway via taxing way J(Juliette) to taxing way A(Alpha) and holing in taxing way MA(Mike, Alpha) and before parked in the gate. The communication error happened in 2006, during the time Air China 981 was taxing to the gate when they touched down at runway 22 Right in JFK airport after a long way 12hours schedules fly from Beijing Capital airport China.
