The Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) said the new pilot fatigue risk management system (FRMS) regulations do not work for unscheduled commercial operations. Thus, the organization plans to develop a working alternative.

Following CBAA’s meeting with Transport Canada officials in late January, the two parties agreed that the association would develop a “pilot project” that will attempt to find a better way forward. “Our intent is to leverage fatigue science, technology, and a robust safety management systems (SMS) to find an alternate means of compliance.”
