the FRMS.
Note 1   See also paragraph 6.4 in subsection 6 in relation to references to expositions and operations manuals.
Note 2   The FRMS may be subject to CASA directions under regulation 11.245 of CASR in the interests of aviation safety — see subclause 7.4 of this Appendix.

    3 FRMS practical operating procedures
       3.1 The FRMS practical operating procedures must, as a minimum:
(a) incorporate scientific principles and knowledge; and
(b) identify, on an ongoing basis, fatigue-related safety hazards and the risks that result from them; and
(c) ensure that remedial actions necessary to effectively mitigate the risks associated with the hazards are implemented properly; and
(d) provide for continuous recording and monitoring of, and regular assessment of:
           (i) fatigue-related safety hazards; and
           (ii) relevant remedial actions; and
           (iii) the extent to which mitigation of fatigue-related risks is achieved by remedial actions; and
(e) provide for continuous improvement in the effectiveness of the FRMS.
       3.2 The FRMS practical operating procedures must set out:
(a) maximum values for each FCM for the following:
 (i) flight times;
 (ii) flight duty periods;
 (iii) duty periods; and
(b) minimum values for each FCM off-duty periods.
Note   The terms flight time, flight duty period, duty period and off-duty period are defined in this CAO.
       3.3 For subclause 3.2, the values for each FCM must be based on scientific principles and knowledge and subject to safety assurance processes.
       3.4 Subject to subclause 3.5, where an AOC holder acquires data from an FRMS which indicates that the maximum and minimum values required under paragraphs 3.2 (a) and (b) are too high or too low, respectively, the AOC holder must amend the FRMS to ensure that these values are acceptable.
       3.5 For subclause 3.4, an amendment may only be made in accordance with clause 7.

    4 FRMS hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation procedures

 FRMS hazard identification procedures
       4.1 FRMS hazard identification procedures must be based on the following processes for fatigue-related hazard identification:
(a) the predictive process;
(b) the proactive process;
(c) the reactive process.
       4.2 The predictive process must be capable of identifying fatigue-related hazards by examining FCM scheduling and taking into account the following:
(a) factors known to affect sleep;
(b) factors known to affect fatigue;
(c) the effects of the factors mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) on FCM performance.
       4.3 The proactive process must be capable of identifying fatigue-related hazards within current flight operations.
       4.4 The reactive process must be capable of identifying the contribution of fatigue‑related hazards to actual events that could have affected, or did affect, safety, with a view to determining how the effects of fatigue on each event could have been minimised.
