How can crew scheduling itself be used as a workload and safety tool on a long day of operations?
- A.Schedule the most complex flights at the very end of the day
- B.Plan rotations and breaks so no crew member works extended periods without rest
- C.Keep the same person flying all day to maintain consistency
Correct answer
A. Schedule the most complex flights at the very end of the day
Why
Rotations and planned breaks are a management control against declining alertness and rising workload. Building them into the schedule is more reliable than hoping individuals will notice their own decline.
