As part of our ongoing work within the Fatigue Safety Action Group (FSAG) and our commitment to promoting a strong safety culture, we would like to share a useful IFALPA document that provides clear guidance on how to complete effective fatigue reports:
IFALPA Fatigue Reporting Guidance
Fatigue reporting remains one of the most important tools for identifying operational risks and supporting long-term fatigue trend analysis. High-quality reports allow the FSAG and the company to better understand the factors influencing alertness and to implement appropriate mitigations where needed.
This document provides:
- Practical, neutral terminology for describing fatigue-related events,
- Clear examples of the information that helps safety teams analyse reports,
- Guidance on describing causal factors, sleep evaluation, and mitigations,
- A step-by-step overview of what constitutes an effective fatigue report.
We encourage all pilots to review and use this guidance as a helpful reference when submitting future fatigue reports. Consistent, factual, and well-structured reporting strengthens our safety system and benefits all of us.
Thank you for your continued professionalism and support! If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please feel free to reach out.
