Extensive research on flight crew fatigue has produced a computerised model known as 'SAFE' (System for Aircrew Fatigue Evaluation). This model predicts the likely fatigue effects of varying flight crew rosters. The objective was to provide CAA Flight Operations Policy with a tool to evaluate industry proposals for variations to flight crew rosters. Since delivery of the model 18 months ago it has, on average, been used in assessment of approximately 2-3 industry applications per month. Initial work on this subject has been published previously, but is updated in this final report, which includes the most recent studies.
