Review of New Australian Fatigue Rules Under Way
The Australian safety agency is weighing whether to hold off on the effective date.

Australia’s new duty- and flight-time rules to prevent fatigue of pilots in commercial operations are scheduled to go into effect October 31, but a review of them by an independent organization contracted by the country’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) already is recommending 24 changes, including “a freeze of the transition dates for the implementation of the new fatigue rules and the adoption of a staggered approach to implementation and transition.” The rules cover all commercial operations, including air-taxi and charter.
