| Abstract |
Members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) use various criteria to control flight crew scheduling and rest periods with the intention of reducing fatigue and thus improving airline safety. Comparison of these rules across nations may allow future harmonization of the criteria. The regulations of 10 ICAO member states were compiled to determine the factors used by each to control scheduling. Although the 10 states in this study have common aims for regulating crew duty, their regulations diverge with respect to details, using different tools in an effort to prevent the occurrence of excessive fatigue. |
