There are pretty good rules around crew rest and sleep requirements. Too early to rule anything out, but it wouldn't be terribly high on my list as a sole fact

There are pretty good rules around crew rest and sleep requirements. Too early to rule anything out, but it wouldn't be terribly high on my list as a sole factor. Generally aviation accidents require a multiple serious problems (which is great, because safety is very robust), but NTSB does a good job investigating.
- inferiorhuman 8y agoThere are pretty good rules around crew rest and sleep requirements. And the requirements are different between passenger and cargo operators.
- rdl 8y agoWow, I actually didn't know they were different. (I assumed scheduled air cargo would be the same rules as scheduled pax). I see Congress tried to harmonize back in 2012/2013 but it didn't happen. I guess it makes sense for things like the small FedEx 208 flights to be different from pax, but large jet aircraft should probably have similar regulations to passenger service, as the risk isn't only to the aircraft, but to those on the ground.
