Spec 116: Integrating Aircraft Maintenance Technician Fatigue into Safety Management Systems

Spec 116: Integrating Aircraft Maintenance Technician Fatigue into Safety Management SystemsDescription This specification is intended for use by operators in conjunction with their Safety Management System (SMS) incorporating Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMT) fatigue. It shall apply to AMTs , however strong consideration should be given to Aviation Maintainers, as in Advisory Circular 120 115.

Summary of key changes:

The process is sequentially ordered to assure that identified potential safety concern items are rigorously evaluated and clearly communicated first within the operator’s systems and
