As an aside to all this, CAP371 is based on a lot of research into Fatigue in Aircrew which was initiated by the Bader Committee in the 70s. The resultant rules regarding local nights and maximum FDP etc are the result of that scientific study and subsequent experience.
The proposed changes that are likely to come into force as a result of the change of the regulatory body from the CAA to EASA are anything but based in scientific research. The bigger battle that we should all be engaged in should not be about 2 days off after a long haul trip but to prevent this nightmare piece of legislation from being allowed to proceed.
