Air India Pilots' Body Urges Review of Fatigue Guidelines

Air India Pilots' Body Urges Review of Fatigue Guidelines

Pilots are worried about rules on how tired they can be while flying, which could make flights unsafe.

They want the aviation regulator to delay and discuss the rules further, which aim to manage pilot tiredness to make flying safer.

The pilots are concerned that the new rules may not fit how things work in India, because they may not account for cultural practices and legal rulings.

The pilots also think that the DGCA needs to consult more with them and airline pilots before these rules are put into effect.

They think the process has some issues, and that there is a risk the rules could be misused without proper checks.
