Krav på crew rest areas enligt easa nedan, oftast så är besättningars avtal med sin arbetsgivare snävare än regelverket. Som regel är det dom korta stoppen för crew på utestation som gör att de inte hinner acklimatisera sig till lokaltiden som kortar ner tjänstgöringstiden för flighten hem och då är lösningen med vila ombord enda sättet för att få till en extension av FDP. På SAS får kabinpersonalen en class 3 och piloterna en class 1 avskilt från övriga kabinen.
(c) Extension of FDP due to in-flight rest
In-flight rest facilities in accordance with ORO.FTL.205(e)(iii) fulfil the following minimum standards:
— ‘Class 1 rest facility’ means a bunk or other surface that allows for a flat or near flat sleeping position. It reclines to at least 80° back angle to the vertical and is located separately from both the flight crew compartment and the passenger cabin in an area that allows the crew member to control light, and provides isolation from noise and disturbance;
— ‘Class 2 rest facility’ means a seat in an aircraft cabin that reclines at least 45° back angle to the vertical, has at least a pitch of 55 inches (137.5 cm), a seat width of at least 20 inches (50 cm) and provides leg and foot support. It is separated from passengers by at least a curtain to provide darkness and some sound mitigation, and is reasonably free from disturbance by passengers or crew members;
— ‘Class 3 rest facility’ means a seat in an aircraft cabin or flight crew compartment that reclines at least 40° from the vertical, provides leg and foot support and is separated from passengers by at least a curtain to provide darkness and some sound mitigation, and is not adjacent to any seat occupied by passengers.
