New airplanes like the Airbus 380 and Boeing 777 that are capable of flying nonstop for as much as 20 hours are adding urgency to a question the airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration have long wrestled with: How do you make sure the flight crews get enough sleep? In October, the F.A.A. issued an operations bulletin for ''ultra long-range flights'' that doubled the amount of time pilots and flight attendants must remain at their overseas destination. The change to 48 hours from 24 is intended to make sure that flight crews get two full periods of sleep before making the return flight. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
