216 - ATPL Question Bank in English - What should guide a pilot’s sleep strategy during a layover after crossing time zones?

Question 216 - Human Performance and Limitations - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot Licence

Assume that changing the clock to local time immediately produces complete circadian adaptation.
Consider the layover duration, direction of travel, onward or return schedule and fatigue-management plan; a single 24-hour threshold does not determine the best strategy.
Use exactly the same sleep and light-exposure schedule for every route and layover length.
Always remain on home time, even during a prolonged stay involving local duties.
