flights for an hour or hour-and a-half interview. This information can be obtained from the operations or dispatching offices. About four hours between the time of arrival and the time of departure will generally be required in order for pilots to squeeze in an interview. Pilots who are based (have their home) at the city may have two or three days off between flights.

The Fatigue Rating Scale 
A somewhat separate part of this study is the obtaining of pilots' ratings on factors contributing to fatigue. A rating scale has been constructed for this purpose. It is intended that this scale be administered by the interviewer at the end of the interview. This could be done rather informally, asking the pilots to fill out the scale themselves while the interviewer looks on. The completed rating scale then should be attached to the "Interview Summary Forms" and turned in to the supervisor. The instructions for administering the rating scale are self-explanatory and should be studied carefully by the interviewer before he begins any interviews.
