Nope. I’ve done extensions in the past because I thought I was totally fine only to regress pretty quickly once in the air. Everyones’ body is different but I’ve learned my lesson and it ain’t worth it.
And that’s part of the deadliness of fatigue. It can overcome you quickly and it impairs your judgement. I’ll let someone who’s more rested happily do the flight as a WS or GS.
