Air Canada Pilots to track fatigue

The Air Canada Pilots Association is launching an initiative to track incidents of pilot fatigue.
Air Canada pilots will document incidents of fatigue and contributing factors with a form used by pilots at other major airlines.
The data will be used to create a database documenting fatigue in Canada and compare that with global industry standards.
The results will then be shared with Air Canada in the hopes of improving schedules to reduce the risk and incidence of pilot fatigue.
The International Civil Aviation Organization recently adopted new standards requiring member countries to adopt science-based fatigue risk management systems.
