You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by January 25, 2019.
After releasing Issue 2 of these three ACs, we will continue to work with stakeholders to improve future issues.
Furthermore, TC will continue to work with operators to develop and refine guidance material, and build common tools to support their operations. This will be led by TC’s Fatigue Risk Management System Special Advisor and in collaboration with industry through focus groups, workshops, and pilot projects. TC is also contracting out the development of small operator guidance materials and tools, to further support this group.
