| Abstract | For decades, fatigue has been identified as a significant risk factor in commercial air transport. The two main approaches to manage the fatigue risk in aviation are prescriptive and risk-based (performance-based). Countries’ aviation authorities mandate either of these approaches or a combination of both through their national regulatory frameworks. This study investigated the content, context and implementation of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and their recommended practices to manage flight crew fatigue risk in eight South Asian countries. The research design tabulated the fatigue-related regulations and conducted a comparative analysis of the approaches by assessing published standards, recommended practices, and regulations. The findings show a considerable variability among these South Asian countries on the limits imposed for flight time, flight duty periods, duty periods, and rest periods. Notably, no country had implemented all three types of limitations (flight time, flight duty period and duty period) in their regulations. Most countries use a combination of two limitations as a minimum however, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives only using flight duty periods in their regulations. All eight South Asian countries impose minimum rest limits. Additionally, the regulations vary with regard to crew composition, the start time of flight time/flight duty periods, and in-flight rest requirements. The results highlight the varying limitations imposed in these South Asian countries on flight time, flight duty period, duty period and rest periods. It is hoped that these findings will be considered by regulatory bodies for aviation and airlines in the South Asia region in order to enhance existing regulatory frameworks. |
