Pilot Fatigue Protection Act: Stricter Rest Rules for Commercial Flights.
This bill aims to enhance commercial flight safety by mandating stricter rest and duty limits for all flight crews operating under major airline regulations (Part 121). The FAA must update rules within 180 days to ensure that comprehensive fatigue management requirements (Part 117) apply universally to these operations. This change directly benefits citizens by ensuring that pilots operating their flights are adequately rested, thereby increasing overall air travel safety.
