Observe for 48 hours, FAA permits Pilots & ATCO's COVID19 vaccine

-


Pilot & ATC
Following the Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Pfizer, Inc.’s COVID-19 vaccine, the FAA has determined that pilots may receive the vaccine under the conditions of their FAA-issued airman medical certification. FAA Air Traffic Controllers, who are subject to FAA medical clearance, may also receive the vaccine.

To maintain the highest level of safety in the National Airspace System, the agency will require aviation professionals with medical certifications or medical clearances to observe a period of 48 hours following the administration of this vaccine before conducting safety-sensitive aviation duties, such as flying or controlling air traffic.

Because the Pfizer vaccine requires two doses, 21 days apart for maximum effectiveness, this waiting period applies after each dose.

The FAA anticipates taking no additional measures to ensure safety after the initial window for side effects closes. However, the agency’s medical professionals will continuously monitor the initial distribution of the novel vaccine and documented clinical results and will adjust these recommendations as needed.

The FAA will evaluate vaccines from other manufacturers as they receive FDA authorization in the coming weeks and months and will advise pilots and air traffic controllers of any waiting periods required for those vaccines.

The FAA applies similar brief waiting periods after administration of other vaccines, including those for tuberculosis and typhoid.

The FAA encourages Americans to receive COVID-19 vaccinations as authorized by FDA. This policy announcement pertains to a specialized group of FAA-certificated professionals who perform safety-sensitive aviation duties.

Standards for passenger evacuation from aircraft not upated finds USA audit.

  The current standard is to demonstrate that the aircraft can be evacuated by all passengers in 90 seconds using half the exits. There have been increasing number of evacuations where it has been observed that the pasengers were carrying their personal belogings or delaying the evacuation to collect their belongings. The test scenario is conducted with motivated volunteers who have been briefed on the scenario. However a real evacuation with changing passenger profile will present different challenges. FAA largely updates its evacuation standards only after accidents, and its last update that was based on an accident occurred in 1991 . FAA also has not conducted sufficient research on passenger behaviors and seat dimensions to determine how they affect evacuation standards. Furthermore, FAA does not collect comprehensive data from evacuations or data from aircraft model certifications to identify emerging risks and needs for regulation updates.

Sleep is a fundamental right; a different perspective Spotify Podcast No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law. Article 21 Indian Constitution 1950. The objective of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution is to prevent encroachment upon personal liberty and deprivation of life except under the procedure established by law. The objective of fundamental rights is twofold. Every citizen must be able to claim those rights; second, they must be binding upon every authority. Fundamental rights have been given to protect the public from arbitrary action of the state. The state could mean the government, the parliament and local authorities, as explained by Article 12 of the Indian Constitution. Through this write-up, I present my view on the subject of flight and duty time limitations for managing fatigue of flight crew members or Pilots. There has been a long-standing demand of the pilot community through various representing
