Course overview
What is Flight Time Limitations?
Flight time limitations (FTL) are a set of prescriptive and performance related requirements focused on supporting the management of fatigue experienced by crew members. They contain numerical limitations, and set requirements for rest periods between duties and extended recovery rest. The FTL’s also include other elements of work that could generate fatigue and may affect flight safety. Performance related elements requiring operators to demonstrate how they put the patterns of work together to manage fatigue in their operational context are also included in the FTL.
Course Overview
This course provides delegates with an understanding of the intent and application of prescriptive Flight Time Limitations (FTL) requirements. The course can be offered based on either CAP371 or EASA Subpart FTL.
The course can be tailored to either a specific country’s FTL scheme or an operator’s approved scheme (where they are based on either UK or EU legislation).
The course will also develop the delegate’s understanding of ICAO’s fatigue management requirements and the importance of the interaction between the Safety Management Systems (SMS) and the application of the FTL scheme.
The course is designed to be interactive and where possible use examples and scenarios applicable to the delegate’s own types of operation.

This course is suitable for: airline crewing and rostering staff; airline managers; representatives from Flight and Cabin crew; and regulator staff with responsibility for the oversight of FTL schemes.
