I get these from the AOPA-sponsored "Pilot Workshop". We GA pilots were almost required to take sleep apnea testing when a couple of Part 121 pilots fell asleep and overshot their destination airport.
The P-3 I hitched a ride in was supposedly capable of flying a 24 hour mission with two engines shut down. They had kitchen equipment and bunks.
What's the longest flying day folks on this site have had? I had a 10 flying hour flight to reposition when I moved from the East Coast to the Mid-West and my plane did not have an autopilot. I broke the trip up into a refueling stop and a refueling and lunch stop, but was pretty fatigued whan I landed.
