Safe Skies: New Rules for Cargo Pilot Duty and Rest

New regulations aim to enhance the safety of cargo flights by applying the same duty and rest requirements to cargo pilots as those already in place for passenger pilots. This means pilots transporting goods will have the same work hour limits and required breaks, potentially reducing fatigue and improving overall air transport safety.
Key points
All pilots, whether carrying passengers or only cargo, will be subject to the same rules regarding duty and rest times.
The change aims to increase the safety of cargo flights by ensuring pilots are well-rested and capable of performing their duties safely.
