I’ve only once seen a crew member fall asleep. It was the PIC. I felt chuffed that he was relaxed enough to nod off with me in the right hand seat, technically unrated for the aircraft. I did reach for a couple of switches and controls to see if he was faking it.
Oh and by the way: He was a CASA FOI. (Note I said FOI, not ATO.)
Well, that's nothing new. I've heard a few stories of older generation ATOs falling asleep during flight tests and MECIR renewals.
