A draft agenda for the event is published here. It is proposed that it will cover the sharing of experiences in managing fatigue and implementing FRMS in Commercial Airline transportation and possibly other occupations. Experiences and hurdles to overcome in managing fatigue will be explored by regulators, operators and unions who will be presenting developments in fatigue management from their perspectives.
Delegates from operators, unions and regulators wishing to present a paper are welcome to do so by contacting info@frmsforum.org. Other delegate groups are welcome to join in the debates with their opinions during the Q&A sessions following each presentation.
