Fatigued Pilot Protection Act

The Fatigued Pilot Protection Act mandates the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to revise existing regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment. This legislative action is designed to ensure that comprehensive flight and duty limitations and rest requirements , currently detailed in Part 117 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, are universally applied. Specifically, these updated regulations must extend to any flightcrew member or certificate holder engaged in operations under Part 121 of the same title. The primary goal of this act is to enhance aviation safety by preventing pilot fatigue across all scheduled air carrier operations, thereby protecting both flight crews and the traveling public.
