3man ULH
 

Hi, I'm told that Finnair operates 3-crew ULH. If that's the case, anyone got any experience of the fatigue issues? What's changed if they cut from 4 crew?

Thanks

Augmented crew of 3 pilots can do up to 16hrs of Flight Duty, Heavy Crew with 4 pilots (2 capts/2 FO´s) can do up to 18hrs of Flight Duty. Assuming all the rest facilities are according to the book. On top of these long days another 3 hrs can be added in case of unforeseen changes. Hope that helps.

What routes are Finnair operating ULH?
I'm not aware of any.

Thanks, Gur, I'm interested in the effects of fatigue on a 3 crew operation for flights of 12 hours. Any info?
