Cargo pilots would get the same rest rules as passenger pilots to boost safety.
This bill would make sure pilots flying cargo planes get the same required rest and duty limits as pilots flying passenger planes. This change would affect thousands of cargo pilots and hundreds of air cargo companies, aiming to improve safety by standardizing rest rules across all flight operations. The new rules would take effect quickly, within 30 days of the bill becoming law.
Today, pilots flying cargo planes do not have the same federal duty and rest requirements as pilots flying passenger planes. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Transportation would be required to make sure cargo pilots follow the same rules as passenger pilots within 30 days.
