Bill > HR7191

This bill, known as the Fatigued Pilot Protection Act, directs the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to update existing regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment to ensure that specific flight and duty limitations and rest requirements, currently outlined in part 117 of title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, are applied to all flightcrew members and certificate holders conducting operations under part 121 of the same title. Part 117 details rules designed to prevent pilot fatigue by setting limits on how long pilots can fly and how much rest they must receive, while part 121 governs the operation of large aircraft for scheduled passenger and cargo services, meaning this bill aims to broaden the application of these fatigue-prevention rules to all flights covered by part 121, regardless of their specific operational details.
