To require the Secretary of Transportation to modify the final rule relating to flightcrew member duty and rest requirements for passenger operations of air carriers to apply to all-cargo operations of air carriers, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to modify existing federal regulations on flight crew duty and rest requirements. Currently, these safety standards apply to passenger airline operations, but this legislation would extend the same requirements to all-cargo airline operations. The bill aims to ensure that cargo airline crews operate under the same fatigue-management standards as passenger airline crews, potentially improving safety in the cargo aviation sector. If enacted, cargo airline pilots and crew members would be subject to the same duty hour limitations and mandatory rest periods that passenger airline crews must follow, which could affect scheduling practices and operational procedures at cargo carriers.
