The business aviation industry believes 17 years is too long between updates about practical issues such as crew duty days, rest periods and other fatigue-related topics. The National Business Aviation Association, in cooperation with the John D. Odegaard School of Aerospace at the University of North Dakota, has commissioned a new survey to better understand how the business aviation’s perspective on these operational issues has changed since 2000.
UND/NBAA Launch Fatigue Survey
Key Takeaways:
- The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the University of North Dakota have launched a new survey to update insights into business aviation crew duty days, rest periods, and fatigue, as the last study was conducted 17 years ago.
- The survey is critical due to significant changes in the industry since 2000, including a dramatic increase in ultra-long-range aircraft and single-pilot high-performance turbine operations.
- Expanding beyond pilots, the voluntary survey now includes perspectives from cabin attendants and aviation maintenance technicians, with its results to be cross-referenced with data from the 2000 study.
