FAA to propose new rules on airline pilot hours
WASHINGTON (AP) - June 15, 2009 Randy Babbitt, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration,
said he will propose the new rule in the next several months. A
former airline pilot who has been at FAA only a few weeks, Babbitt
said the issues is complicated because a pilot flying fewer hours
with more takeoffs and landings will likely experience more fatigue
than a pilot on a longer flight with only one takeoff and one
landing.
