x.x.xx. Controlled Cockpit Rest [xx.xx.2009]
Each flight crew member required to be on flight deck duty shall remain alert during all phases of flight. If unexpected fatigue is experienced a controlled rest procedure, organised by the Commander, can be used if workload permits.
Controlled rest means a period of time "off task" some of which may include actual sleep.
The use of controlled rest may increase significantly level of alertness during the later phases of flight. Controlled rest should be used in conjunction with other fatigue management countermeasures such as physical exercise, bright cockpit illumination at appropriate time, balanced eating and drinking, and intellectual activity. The maximum rest time has been chosen to limit deep sleep with consequent long recovery time (sleep inertia).
Controlled rest may be used under the following conditions at the discretion of the Commander to manage both sudden unexpected fatigue which is expected to become more severe during higher workload periods later in the flight:
– Controlled rest shall only take place during low workload part of the flight.
– The rest shall be taken at the flight crew member's own seat. The harness shall be used and the seat positioned to minimise unintentional interference with the controls.
– The Commander shall ensure that the other flight crew member is adequately briefed to carry out the duties of the resting flight crew member.
– The rest period shall not be longer than 45 minutes.
– Appropriate alarm system or procedure based on frequent cabin crew checks shall be used to ensure that the non resting flightcrew member remains alert. n case of the procedure the CDR shall inform the CC of the intention of the flight crew member to take controlled rest and of the time of the end of that rest. The frequency and the methods of the contacts shall be specified by the CDR.
– After this 45 minutes, there shall be a recovery period of 20 minutes during which sole control of the aeroplane shall not be transferred to the pilot who has completed his rest. The recovery period shall include also adequate briefing.
– If necessary, a flight crew member may take more than one rest period, if time permits on longer sectors, subject to the restrictions above.
– Controlled rest period shall be terminated at least one hour prior to commencing the approach for landing.
