Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS)

Endorsement mechanism for Aviation Language Test Providers

Orlando, 27 April , 201011

Managing fatigue Managing fatigue

What we do now - FDLsDoes it work?FRMS – a way forward.

Orlando, 27 April , 201012

What is FRMS?What is FRMS?

✓Aims to manage fatigue irrespective of the cause.

✓Based on science and empirical findings.

✓ Is data driven.

✓Requires a systematic, organizational approach.

A continuous process of planning, monitoring and managing the level of alertness of flight and cabin crew when performing their duties.

Why move to FRMS?Why move to FRMS?

Prescribed limitations provide only “one slice of cheese”.

FRMS provides more defence

barriers.✓ Addresses alertness variables not

addressed by FDLs.

✓ Reflects unique and changing airline factors.

✓ Manages fatigue risk relevant to specific circumstances

Allows for greater operational flexibility.

What is ICAO proposing?What is ICAO proposing?

For application to:✓ Annex 6, Part 1 Operators: International Commercial Air

Transport – Aeroplanes

✓ Flight crew and cabin crew

All SARPs related to fatigue management to be brought under one broad heading✓ Prescriptive FDLs (as current)

✓ FRMS

States to choose whether they will allow FRMS as an option to their operators

States to continue to provide prescriptive FDL regulations

What happens to the proposed FRMS SARPs now?What happens to the proposed FRMS SARPs now?

As of now: Preliminary review of proposed FRMS SARPs completed and accepted.

May 2010: State Letter to States. Nov/Dec 2010:  Final review by ANC Mar 2011:  Adoption by Council Nov 2011:  Applicable date
