There is an exemption if you are travelling, therefore pilots are not required to fast during Ramadan, however they are expected to do make up the lost days afterwards.

Fasting affects people to varying degrees, all you have to do is look at drivers who are fasting as sunset approches. If you are a student pilot i would have no problems allowing you to fly in the morning, but not later in the day............


SAS-A321,

If the pilots fast during a long flight I think that they are jeopordising the flight safety.......

Would you care to expand on this statement?
