ICAO to mandate pilot fatigue risk management

摘要

The existing system for managing pilot fatigue - national regulations on flight time limitations (FTL) - is about to be superseded at an International Civil Aviation Organisation level by a requirement for operators to apply a fatigue risk management system (FRMS). These latest updates on fatigue management thinking and action emerged at a 2-3 October workshop organised by the Association Luxembourgeoise des Pilotes de Ligne in Luxembourg, attended by experts from the European Aviation Safety Agency, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, and fatigue research specialists from Australia and other countries.
