EHA Challenges Flight-time Limits
Not seen this on here yet. Doesn't concern me though.

Any companies out there distinguish between night and day totals for duty?
I find it strange why fatigue is not linked to night flying.
Yes, total hours change depending upon check-in time, but that does not account for shorter days during winter, for example?

That's my point - if we are serious about "fatigue" then why does night manoeuvring eat up the same 'duty' as AP-in day cruise?
All the safety wisdom clearly states night operations as more stressful - therefore more fatiguing......and yet no differentiation is made.
The FTDL considers circadian rythems etc but not the obvious, imho.
