Plain-English Summary

The proposal would establish new rules to protect airline pilots from excessive fatigue by limiting how many hours they can work consecutively and requiring adequate rest periods between flights. These changes would apply to both commercial airlines and cargo carriers, aiming to improve safety for passengers and crew members while preventing pilot exhaustion-related accidents. The measure is currently being reviewed by the aviation subcommittee.
