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 business aviation industry, represented by NBAA and the University of North Dakota, has launched a new survey to update understanding of fatigue-related operational issues like crew duty days and rest periods.
- This new survey is critical because the last comprehensive update was 17 years ago, and the industry has seen significant changes, including a massive increase in ultra-long-range aircraft and more single-pilot operations.
- The survey expands its scope to gather insights from cabin attendants and aviation maintenance technicians, with its results intended to be cross-referenced with data from the 2000 study on crew fatigue factors.
