Paragraph Index: 1470

1. Purpose and scope 1.1 Flight time and flight duty period limitations are established for the sole purpose of reducing the probability that fatigue of flight crew members may adversely affect the safety of flight. 1.2 In order to guard against this, two types of fatigue must be taken into account, namely, transient fatigue and cumulative fatigue. Transient fatigue may be described as fatigue which is normally experienced by a healthy individual following a period of work, exertion or excitement, and it is normally dispelled by a single sufficient period of sleep. On the other hand cumulative fatigue may occur after delayed or incomplete recovery from transient fatigue or as the after- effect of more than a normal amount of work, exertion or excitement without sufficient opportunity for recuperation. 1.3 Limitations based on the provisions of Part III, Section II, of the Annex will provide safeguards against both kinds of fatigue because they will recognize: 1.3.1 The necessity to limit flight time in such a way as to guard against both kinds of fatigue. 1.3.2 The necessity to limit time spent on duty on the ground immediately prior to a flight or at intermediate points during a series of flights in such a way as to guard particularly against transient fatigue. 1.3.3 The necessity to provide flight crew members with adequate opportunity to recover from fatigue. 1.3.4 The necessity of taking into account other related tasks the flight crew member may be required to perform in order to guard particularly against cumulative fatigue.
