ROUGH-ORDER-OF-MAGNITUDE ESTIMATE
Qualitative Benefits
1. More alert pilots in the cockpit, able to react swiftly and appropriately to in-flight
abnormalities in flight, before they become emergencies, as well as responding better to
emergencies.
2. Premium value attributed to expedited and perishable cargo, including pharmaceutical
supplies, medical equipment, donor transplant organs, and time-sensitive legal and
governmental documents
3. Cumulative effect of chronic sleep loss on physical and mental health resulting in
disorders that can reduce the quality of life and productivity, cause an increase use of
health-care services, and result in injuries, illness, or deaths.
4. Disruption and inconvenience to accident victims on the ground from loss of house and
personal property, including time burden of locating temporary housing and replacing
personal items
5. Loss of irreplaceable environmental, historic or otherwise aesthetic property
Tangible Benefits
1. Pilot fatigue-related non-airborne accidents (accidents on the tarmac during taxiing)
2. Revenue losses for failure to deliver cargo and having to refund delivery cost or absorb
all re-delivery costs
3. Post-accident health costs from release of toxic and other chemical substances
