I was speaking to a gentleman that was a controller at Kerry Airport in south west Ireland. As we got chatting he said to me he worked a 11 hour shift on his own and thought this was totally illegel!!
He said that apparently the IAA have no regulations on the maximum hours a controller must work before a break of some kind has to be taken.
As i work as a FISO and governed by the CAA i said i would check what rules apply in the U.K. on this matter.
So can anybody tell me what is the max hours of work before you have totake a break if you are full ATC and what publication i could find this in?
If anybody could also tell me if there is any publications from the IAA on this subject.
Many thanks,
