Safety matters, a non governmental organisation based in India conducted a Safety Culture Survey beginning 16th Sept 2022 with the objective of assessing the prevailing safety culture in Indian aviation with the focus on pilot fatigue. The main aim of Safety Matters is to establish a generative safety culture. Fatigue poses an important safety risk to civil and military aviation. In addition to decreasing performance in-flight(chronic) fatigue has negative long term effects. Possible causes of fatigue include sleep loss, extended time awake, circadian phase irregularities and work load. A prescriptive flight and duty limitation does not address the effects of fatigue as well as a fatigue management system and countermeasures.

No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law. Article 21 Indian Constitution 1950.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India concurring opinion, stated that "it is evident that right of privacy and the right to sleep have always been treated to be a fundamental right like a right to breathe, to eat, to drink, to blink, etc.".
We can conclude that the Sleep of crew members is a fundamental right protected by the constitution of India. Restriction can only be imposed on fundamental rights through a law or an act enacted by the state or central government. The act must pass the test of reasonableness and must not be arbitrary. unfair, whimsical or fanciful.
“My mind clicks on and off…I try letting one eyelid
close at a time while I prop the other open with my
will. But the effort’s too much. Sleep is winning. My
whole body argues dully that nothing, nothing life
can attain, is quite so desirable as sleep.”
Charles Lindbergh, describing the fatigue that struck him
nine hours into his 33-hour solo Atlantic crossing.

Advaita Katha: The air crash survivor

The irregularities in operations and compromise in safety while flying helicopters in mountainous areas was identified in the June 2022 audit by DGCA. The audit took place after being forced under public pressure after a video of a hard landing at Kedarnath emerged in the social media. A fine of just INR 5 lac was akin to legalising crimes and the unsupervised flying continued.
