Fatigue Management: Enhancing
Prescriptive Rules with a Risk-Based
Approach to Mitigating Pilot Fatigue
The purpose of this article is to provide a basic introduction of the prescriptive approach to flight
and duty time regulations and then apply a Safety Management Systems (SMS) driven approach
to Fatigue Management (FM). This will then build the foundation on how one can introduce
Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS), as desired or needed, to enhance FTL and effectively
mitigate fatigue and enhance alertness.
