- Summary:
- "To meet the goals of the Departments of Transportation and Treasury and Independent Agencies Appropriations Bill (House Rpt. 108-671) directive to the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a study of flight attendant fatigue, this report contains a literature review on fatigue as potentially experienced by flight attendants, an evaluation of currently used (actual vs. scheduled) flight attendant duty schedules, and a comparison of these schedules to the current CFRs. The report additionally reviews fatigue-related incident/accident information from the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) and the National Transportation Safety Board database. The report concludes with 6 recommendations concerning issues that require further evaluation, including: 1) Survey of Field Operations; 2) Focused Study of Incident Reports; 3) Field Research on the Effects of Fatigue; 4) Validation of Models for Assessing FA Fatigue; 5) International Carrier Policies and Practices Review; 6) Training."--Page i
