We often talk about fatigue of operating crew, and have started to consider fatigue risk management within Part 145 recently. I would be interested to hear if anyone considers themselves to be owning oversight of too many approvals when under resourced and if this affecting their decision making process within compliance and safety.
For myself, I’m responsible for five EASA regulatory approvals as compliance manager within an AOC structure, some military related approvals, an ISO accreditation and hold the safety Form 4 under OR.GEN.200 over a number of operating sites. The ability to manage at a high commitment level in today’s fast paced environment is dependent on both the competence and level of that resource provided to support the manager post. Most weeks I’m busting the European Working Time Directive in an effort to keep afloat.
