Associated Press, "Air Crash News: FAA
imposes 'no nap' policy for air controllers" |
National
directive comes after crash in Ky. killed 49 out of 50 on board
Air
traffic controllers who nap during break times could be suspended for
up to 10 days under rules the Federal Aviation Administration has begun
enforcing nationally since the deadly crash of Comair Flight 5191.
FAA workers were notified
of the stricter enforcement Saturday, less than a week after the Kentucky crash
that killed 49 of 50 people on board.
The control tower operator
working at the time got only two hours of sleep during a nine-hour break between
shifts on the day leading up to the Aug. 27 crash. Investigators say he turned
his back on the airfield when the pilots took off from the wrong runway.
National guidelines
against napping aren't new, but workers at several local control towers
and regional radar centers previously enjoyed the right to doze off
during breaks through separate agreements they worked out with their
supervisors. However, the new federal rules imposed by the FAA on Saturday
void those local agreements, FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said.
