Anybody got a copy of any procedures or sample I could see. (will send you a digital beer/whiskey of choice in thanks
)
We in RSA have the same rule coming into CAA law very soon (was announced 2 weeks ago). Its about time the ruling is being implemented, as we have been our own worse enemy continuing with an AOG snag when we know we are tired and most engineering management agree with the new law, as they can stop the bean counters pressurizing thm to push the limits.
How does the law work in practice in NZ? (was there a requirement to hire more engineers/problems with overtime? etc etc)
Which other authories have the duty time for engineers in place?
Interesting I see no reference in JAR/FAA regs for duty time limits for engineers (Check e.g. FAA FAR 145s, so unless somebody can give me a direct link, I can find nothing) Found lots of studies/workshops/conferences but no legal implementation.
EASA seems to have basically said the EU Directive on Working hours will cover the issue. Am I correct in assuming this?
