program can be made that is tailored to a pilot’s flying.  [Figure 4-2]  This program includes a wide array of aviation  related activities specific to the pilot and assesses health,  fatigue, weather, capabilities, etc. The scores are added and  the overall score falls into various ranges, with the range  representative of actions that a pilot imposes upon himself  or herself.  Simply connecting the two factors as shown in  Figure 4-1  indicates the risk is high and the pilot must not  fly, or fly only after finding ways to mitigate, eliminate, or  control the risk. Although the matrix in  Figure 4-1  provides a general  viewpoint of a generic situation, a more comprehensive  RISK ASSESSMENT LEFT COLUMN TOTAL + RIGHT COLUMN TOTAL = TOTAL SCORE Column total Column total SLEEP 1.
