We’ve certainly heard about people micro-sleeping when they were driving but this is the first time we’ve heard of pilots taking naps mid-flight.
At first, the pilot had asked the co-pilot to take the helm as he needed a quick nap due to not getting adequate sleep the night prior, reported ASTRO AWANI. 28 minutes later, the main pilot woke up and realised that they had strayed from the course, so he quickly called the Jakarta control centre and went back to the right route.As this has become a huge issue, the Indonesian Transport Ministry has issued a stern warning to Batik Air and said that a thorough investigation will take place, reports BERNAMA.
