e-1051 (Air transportation)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Minister of Transport
- Canada’s commercial pilots play an essential role in safeguarding their passengers, crew and the public;
- Scientific research has established that fatigue impairs cognitive ability and performance for all – including pilots;
- Other jurisdictions, including the U.S., have updated pilot fatigue rules to manage the risk of fatigue;
- Canada’s current pilot fatigue rules are more than 20 years out of date;
- The government’s proposed updates to Canada’s pilot fatigue rules do not adequately align with fatigue science, especially for long-haul night flights, or with limits established in other jurisdictions; and
- The proposed fatigue rules would permit air operators to bypass these fatigue limits by introducing weak Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) provisions that lack adequate regulatory oversight, pilot input, and enforcement provisions.
