Hello All,
I am surprised that there has nothing recently concerning the action day on the 22nd of January
In the proposed legislation is:
¨The operator shall establish procedures specifying how the commander shall — in case of special circumstances which could lead to severe fatigue, and after consultation with the crew members affected — reduce the actual FDP and/or increase the rest period in order to eliminate any detrimental effect on flight safety.¨
This is a oxymoron, while admitting there may be a detrimental effect to safety they pass the buck on to the commander
How many commanders to you know will reduce the FDP and increase the rest
if the company has a different view ? Do you many Captains will reduce the FDP in case of sever fatigue ?
In case of of severe fatigue, I do not like the wording there of severe.
In this leglislation there is FRM training and there appears to be offloading of responsability to the commander in things that were and should be legislated,
Also 1 000 hours of flight time in any 12 consecutive calendar months ?
Duty extension
Twice per week by 1 hour
Twice per week by 1 hour, but not at night
Is this right ?
They will be able to to have 2 duty extensions per week
If one has not read the proposed legislation, now is the time before the 22nd of January
