它可能是 18 months away but for European operators the European Aviation Safety Agency (欧洲航空安全局) 截止日期 18 二月 2016 欧盟范围内新的飞行时间限制 (FTL) 规则已经迫在眉睫.
为 EASA 统一的疲劳风险管理规定做好准备是航空公司面临的挑战. 负责安全管理系统的欧洲团队 (短信), 风险和监管合规, 船员排班和管理, 调度和飞行日操作都必须有一个成功过渡的关键计划.
The right technology can play a pivotal role in making the transition from existing FTL standards to the new EASA rules easier.
APM’s Michael O’Sullivan says: “Even today, your crew rostering and management software – plus integrations with flightwatch and live production scheduling applications – should include EASA-ready features.”
“For some time now, our team of designers and developers have been working hard to embed EASA-ready features into our software.”
Michael says there are three key features that operators should already expect from their software to aid transition to the new EASA standards.
1. A totally configurable rules set
Operators must have the ability to generate bespoke crew rule sets to automatically generate optimal crew pairings, establishments and rosters that comply with prevailing national and international regulations and include the airline’s own rules. The enhanced crew rules engine included with 船员物流 in APM‑6 features fully configurable rules sets.
2. Real-time FTL risk alerts
If something changes in your live production schedule or flightwatch software that could adversely affect your FTL compliance, you need to know – and know right away. Because APM‑6’s suite is integrated with your core scheduling and day of operations dataset, the moment a change is made in your live production schedule in 日程规划师 or APM’s SmartOps flightwatch tool, users of CrewLogic will know thanks to alerts.
3. Run crewing scenarios and analyses and export to live production
Your software should already offer you a suite of analysis and reporting tools that let you test multiple crew pairings, establishments and rosters in scenarios – which are automatically airline and aviation rules-compliant – and export your chosen scenario back into live production. You have been able to do this since APM‑5 and, with enhanced crew rules configurability, APM‑6 provides an even more powerful tool that means your airline’s well on it way to EASA-compliance.
EASA FTL: The headline requirements for compliance
– Night flight duty reduced from 11 hours and 45 minutes to 11 hours
– More flights will be considered night flights and subject to shorter duty periods
– Flight time in 12 consecutive months will be limited to 1,000 rather than 1,300 hours
– Weekly rest will be increased by 12 hours twice a month
– The combination of standby at the airport with flight duty will be capped at 16 小时. (It is currently 20 hours or 26 小时, or even without limit at – all in some EU member states.)
