Pilot rest rules would apply to more flights, making air travel safer for everyone.
This bill, called the Fatigued Pilot Protection Act, would make sure that all airline pilots flying under certain rules get the same required rest. It tells the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to update its rules within 180 days if the bill becomes law. This change aims to improve safety for both pilots and passengers by ensuring consistent rest requirements.
Today, certain flight and duty limitations and rest requirements for pilots may not explicitly or comprehensively cover all types of flights for major airlines. After this bill, the Federal Aviation Administration would be directed to update its rules within 180 days to ensure these important rest requirements apply to all flightcrew members and airlines conducting operations under Part 121.
