CrewAlert 2.2.3

CrewAlert is a comprehensive mobile application focused on fatigue risk management, tailored for airline safety professionals, crew scheduling departments, and airline crew members. It aims to support compliance with key ICAO requirements related to the Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS):

• Predictive functionality: Facilitates comparison and identification of upcoming fatigue-inducing flight duties for crews and schedulers.
• Proactive data collection: Aids safety departments in efficiently gathering fatigue-related data through surveys.
• Reactive reporting: Simplifies the process of fatigue reporting for both crew members and safety teams.
• Risk mitigation: Incorporates context-sensitive fatigue mitigation features designed to assist crews in managing alertness.

While CrewAlert offers a robust array of functionalities, access to certain advanced features requires a paid subscription. These features are marked with an asterisk (*) below.

Development Background

Produced as part of an initiative between Boeing and Jeppesen, CrewAlert is the first application dedicated specifically to managing alertness and fatigue within airline operations. Built upon the Boeing Alertness Model (BAM)—a scientific mathematical model predicting alertness—CrewAlert translates complex academic knowledge into practical tools for industry use.

Note: This application is designed for professional pilots and their airlines. Prior to purchase, users are encouraged to thoroughly review this description and the Application License Agreement to determine suitability.

Applicable Users and Benefits

For General Users:

• Offers advanced alertness modeling capabilities similar to high-end products at a significantly reduced cost.
• While primarily intended for flight deck and cabin crews, the application’s functionalities are applicable to any 24/7 operation where human performance impacts safety.

For Crew Members:

• Provides predictive insights into future alertness levels based on schedules, prior sleep, and personal configurations—enhancing risk awareness.
• Enables creation of hypothetical scenarios ("what-if" analyses).
• Allows entry of sleep diaries—both actual and planned—to evaluate the efficacy of various sleep strategies.
• Supports collection of sleep data (including via Apple Health*) and alertness metrics for ongoing self-assessment.
• Incorporates built-in fatigue mitigation recommendations*.
• Simplifies fatigue reporting process*, encouraging regular documentation.
• Facilitates participation in fatigue data collection initiatives.
• Provides alerts and predictive insights via Apple Watch*.
• Offers advice on acclimatization strategies and estimated body clock timing*.

For Crew Schedulers:

• Enables analysis of how different scheduling options may impact crew alertness.
• Aids in identifying root causes of recurring schedule-related issues and exploring alternative arrangements.
• Simplifies roster data importation and scenario sharing*.

For Airline Safety Officers:

• Supports efficient analysis of fatigue reports, incidents, and accidents across multiple scenarios*.
• Provides investigative tools for identifying causes of fatigue-related issues*.
• • Allows for easy importation of collected fatigue data*.
  • Facilitates sharing data via iCloud Drive*.
  • The detailed fatigue reports generated by CrewAlert can be imported into safety analysis systems; these reports are pre-modeled using BAM to reduce manual workload.*

*The subscription version unlocks additional capabilities, including integration with Apple Health, iCloud Drive access, scenario management, fatigue mitigation strategies, roster importation, advanced analysis views, day/night themes, local lighting conditions display, and estimated body-clock timing adjustments.
