Jeppesen is now simplifying the application of
scientific principles to a specific crew roster
context with the new functionality offered by
CrewAlert. The new version contains built-in
scientific mitigation strategies automatically
calculated to fit to the roster and individual
settings such as individual sleep requirements,
commute times and more. With a simple tap on the
app timeline, a strategy for boosting and
maintaining alertness at that point in time is
calculated within seconds, investigating up to
900,000 possible sleep patterns and light
exposure combinations.
“It is important to keep in mind, although
CrewAlert takes personal history and settings
into account, that these mitigation strategies
are tailored to a population of crew – just like
the strategies taught in the normal training
sessions,“ said Tomas Klemets, head of
Scheduling Safety at Jeppesen. “CrewAlert now
makes it so much easier to apply and adapt them
to the airline roster – confirmed by the
feedback from our test group of pilots over the
past few months.”
CrewAlert is designed for airline crew, crew
scheduling staff and flight safety departments.
CrewAlert contains a wide range of functionality
making it a suitable app for addressing the
recommendations from ICAO on predictive,
proactive and reactive fatigue risk
capabilities. CrewAlert can be used for
comparing and quantifying roster alternatives,
predicting fatigue risk in upcoming duties,
comparing sleep alternatives, collecting
operational fatigue data, efficient fatigue
reporting - and now also for determining
suitable fatigue mitigation strategies.
