What are the revised flight duty norms suggested by pilots' grouping to tackle pilot fatigue

Pilots' grouping flags pilot fatigue and suggests revised flight duty norms. Elaborate on the proposed changes.
The pilots' grouping has suggested revised flight duty norms to tackle pilot fatigue, including:
  • Limiting the maximum number of flight hours in a single duty period
  • Increasing mandatory rest periods between flights
  • Implementing shorter duty periods for overnight flights
  • Ensuring adequate time off between duty periods to allow for sufficient rest and recovery
  • Providing options for pilots to report fatigue concerns without fear of reprisal
These proposed changes aim to enhance flight safety by addressing the issue of pilot fatigue, which is crucial for maintaining the well-being of both pilots and passengers.
