As transition phase, operator must be applied by the end of 2021 at the latest, reporting appropriate implementation plan to JCAB. 1st October 2019, FRMS Forum Conference in San Francisco 9 Background – Working group JCAB Working Group - Medical Doctor / Aviation Medicine - ex Pilot / Director of Japan Aircraft Pilot Association - Doctor / Safety Information - Specialist / Fatigue Science - Medical Doctor / Sleep Science Reference information for WG - ICAO Doc 9966 2nd Ed. - Prescriptive limit in other country, especially FAA, EASA, CASA, CAA Singapore - Background reference study paper of FAA, EASA prescriptive limit - Fatigue reports gathering in each airlines. - Hearing from ALPA Japan and The Scheduled airlines Association of JAPAN - Fatigue Survey 1st October 2019, FRMS Forum Conference in San Francisco 10 Background – Fatigue Survey Purpose of the Survey For reference information of working group, focus to the difference point of current JCAB standard rather than FAA/EASA Item (2 pilots and 3 pilots) 1. Continuous flight hours (2 & 3 pilots) 2. WOCL (2 & 3 pilots) 3. Number of Segment (2 pilots) In order to eliminate as much as possible the influence of factors other than the target items, the conditions are limited for selection of the targets flights. Method Follow the methods recommended by ICAO DOC 9966 1st October 2019, FRMS Forum Conference in San Francisco 11 Background – Fatigue Survey Conditions - Reporting time - Home / Away (If Away, interval in local) For one segment Cruise - Survey Pilot (Need Motivation) : PIC Climb Descent - Home in Japan Start Measurement End Measurement - Survey 3-5 times for each For multi segments - Well learned about survey and PVT-192 End - Measurement Start Measurement Measurement - Timing : Before departure briefing and just after block in cockpit - Location : Rooms with less disturbing - Tool : PVT – 192 (5mins) and Samn-Perelli/SP Checklist - Observer : Need a learned person who support, observe and record - Record : Measurement Condition, Disturbing factor, Signs of Fatigue, 72 hours Sleep Log, Commute, Any other fatigue factor, etc - Size of survey flight 15 flights or pattern for each survey subdivision Total 270 flights/pattern (15 flights/pattern x 18 subdivision) ,9 Airlines 1st October 2019, FRMS Forum Conference in San Francisco 12 Background – Fatigue Survey Method of analysis - Method is based on advise from specialist in Working Group - If delay over 1h, eliminate form database - PVT-192 - △PVT (%)= Mean Reaction Time at End / Mean RT at Start - Mean and deviation △PVT for comparison each subdivision - Statistical evaluation - Samn-Perelli - △SP = SP at End – SP at Start - Deviation of △SP for comparison each subdivision - Statistical evaluation 1st October 2019, FRMS Forum Conference in San Francisco 13 Background – Result of Fatigue Survey 1A. Continuous flight hours (2 & 3 pilots) from Home(Japan) ・Reporting at 0700-1159 at Japan ・Flight hours 5, 7, 8, 9, 10h for 2 pilots, 10, 11h for 3 pilots Flight hours vs △PVT 2 pilots Flight hours vs △SP 3 pilots Ave JST time of measurement at end Ave time of measurement at start 5h 7h 8h 9h 10h 10h 11h 5h 7h 8h 9h 10h 10h 11h Flight Hours 2pilots --> <-- 3 pilots 2pilots --> <-- 3 pilots Fig-1 Flight hours vs △PVT Fig 2 Each value of △PVT Result ・△PVT and △SP tended to increase with increasing flight hours. ・Fatigue level for 3 pilots is better than 2 pilots. It seems the effect on inflight rest. 1st October 2019, FRMS Forum Conference in San Francisco 14 Background – Result of Fatigue Survey 1B. Continuous flight hours (3 pilots) from Away(North America) ・Reporting at 0700-1159 at LCL time ・Time zone difference 7h to 10h from Japan ・Pilots stay at LCL 36h to 48h ・Flight hours 12, 13, 14h for 3 pilots (RMKS 14h : only winter from North America) Flight hours vs △SP Flight hours vs △PVT △PVT(%) Ave time of measurement at end Ave JST time of measurement at start 12h 13h 14h 12h 13h 14h Flight Hours △ Fig-4 Flight hours vs △PVT 3pilots Fig 5 Each value of △PVT 2pilots Fig-6 Flight hours vs SP Result ・The relationship between flight hours and △PVT /△SP could not be confirmed ・It seems that pilots fatigue is recovered in all of surveyed flights, - In-flight rest facility is class 1 - Pilots duty in cockpit seat is not so long due to rest pattern.
