Different rules apply for Part 121, Part 135, and Part 91 federal regulations when it comes to pilot duty day limits. Part 121 refers to air carriers such as regional and major airlines. Part 135 refers to commuter and on-demand operations such as corporate and government flights. Part 91 refers to general aviation such as small aircraft and weekend flyers. Should flight time and rest time requirements be different between these parts? Part 121 is the most stringent when it comes to pilot flight hours and rest time. Pilots are limited to 1,000 hours per calendar year, 100 hours per calendar month, and 30 hours per seven consecutive days. Pilot required rest intervals are nine hours of rest for flights less than eight hours, 10 hours of rest for flights more than eight hours but less than nine hours, and 11 hours of rest for flights more than 9 hours. Part 135 is less stringent than Part 121 when it comes to pilot flight hours and rest time. Pilots are limited to 1,200 hours per calendar year, 120 hours per calendar month, and 34 hours per seven …show more content…
No pilot is immune to fatigue. All pilots need the required rest to maintain their alertness and performance to function at their highest level. Part 121 flights and rest time are controlled the most because pilots are scheduled by taking into account rest schedules and previous duty schedules. Part 135 rest times are the same as Part 121, but allow more flight time per calendar year, month, and seven consecutive days. Part 91 in general are less stringent because pilots are normally weekend flyers and do not fly as many days as Part 121 and Part 135 pilots. All pilots, no matter which Part the fly under, should maintain regular sleep habits, avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, and avoid going to bed hungry. Pilots should keep fit, eat regular meals, control emotional and psychological aspects of their life, and prepare for

While officer fatigue is less frequently an issue under the 5-8 shift plan, it is not with out drawbacks. Under this shift plan, many officers are permanently assigned the same days off each week, rarely allowing them to have weekends off when most other individuals are. When a weekend is offered, there is the potential chance that the officer will be scheduled for court due to the fixed nature of this shift plan. Additionally, calls-for-service that come towards the end of a shift have long response times, and are in turn passed on to the incoming shift, potentially adding stress to the officers coming on shift, leading to decreased morale levels amongst some officers. Although, the 5-8 plan is more cost efficient with equipment and resource
The FMLA provides 16 weeks of protected time off for employees to tend to qualifying exigencies of a reservist or National Guard member.
The 10,000 hour rule is not exactly a rule, but more of a theory. This is the theory that any skill can be mastered with at least 10,000 hours of practicing that skill. This theory can be proven true by examining elite athletes, the masters of writing code, and the greatest artists on the planet.
The training requirements for CO’s, full time or part time are the same. Part time CO applicants, hiring processes and training would be similar to the current requirements. Current training standards require CO’s to perform approximately 60 hours of annual refresher training. Consequently, part time CO’s would spend approximately 10% of their allowable hours in training.
For example 300 hours in needed in indiana and 240 in California. Requirement vary by state. Businesses must meet requirement of state which it is located. As you process with the career your choice keep in mind of the requirements needed.

In todays society it is no longer a question but a fact that pilot fatigue is a major threat to flight safety. Fatigue has been cited as a factor in several accidents and serious incidents in recent years. Over the last decade a substantial amount of research and case studies have been conducted on fatigue and pilot performance. All of which have scientifically proven that fatigue reduces the physical and mental awareness of one’s ability to operate a plane safely. This is due to the long duty days, circadian disruptions from night flying, time zone changes leading to jet lag, stressors, and insufficient rest or sleep periods. In general, these studies have shown that a fatigued person may lose up to 80% of his or her attention capabilities
For week 34 AVP1 billed 1222.5 hours. Hours covered were 1214.5, we were short 1.5 hour on covered hours because we had an Officer by the name of Andrew Zajac leave early due the fact that he irritated preexisting medical condition. The other 8 hours that caused the variance was from an incumbent, Judy Peffer, who’s hours are consider billable because she has been working at the site since 7/14/2009. You will also see that for week 35, G4S will bill another 32 hrs of billable vacation time. I just wanted to bring this to your attention so you are aware of the variance.
The recent change in The Federal DOT Hours of Service (HOS) has affected an entire industry. These new changes affect the amount of consistent hours a professional driver can drive before having to take a mandatory 30-minute break required by the Federal Motor Company. The changes were made to protect the drivers and those surrounding the drivers.
In most cases, simply getting a good rest is enough to correct fatigue. However, some conditions may require medical intervention.

The EMT profession is one of the few professions left in the transportation industry that have unregulated work shift hours in the United States. Twenty-four hour work shifts are common among the EMT industry and the resulting fatigue is causing mental and physical health issues with EMT’s as well as safety issues for both EMT’s and the patients they are responding to. I believe that the EMT profession needs work hour regulation similar to those of long haul truck drivers, medical residents, pilots and railroad conductors. ”Virtually every branch of commercial or public transportation has very strict rules on hours that their employees can operate, except EMT.”(Medic Madness) The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) plans to announce a research team in the coming years, which will develop fatigue management programs for the EMT industry. These programs will educate EMTs on proper fatigue management as well as teach them the negative effects fatigue has on the body and mind. In my opinion, the regulation of work hours and the development of fatigue management programs in the EMT profession is long overdue.
