Fatigue Risk Management Systems

The latest CARAC Part V Technical Committee meeting was held on March 9th and 10th in Ottawa. The meeting was extremely well attended, and quite lively. Many thanks to all of CAADMO’s members who sent letters to CARAC and/or CAADMO. As you know, your comments were incorporated into a CAADMO “Position Paper” which became part of the Decision Record for the Ottawa meeting. Our Position Paper, along with that of AEA Canada, and commentary from various other “alphabet” groups and concerned organizations, helped have NPA’s 2004-010 to –014 withdrawn by Transport.

We haven’t seen the last of this issue. TC is determined to move forward on this topic, though I think the Technical Committee was able to convince them that it should be as a part of the overall “Safety Management System” rather than as a stand-alone (burdensome) system. I believe that another Part V Technical Committee meeting will be scheduled in the very near future to revisit this issue.

Membership/What’s New

Not much has happened in this area. What with Fatigue Risk Management and “business in general”, we haven’t had much time to devote to CAADMO recruitment. Anybody who runs into a potential member could help us out by spreading the word. Let us know if you require any CAADMO literature and we’ll send it your way.
