Compliance & FRMS — Nov 2025

DGCA CAR-OPS Nov 2025.
Built into the platform, not bolted on.

A structured three-phase FRMS journey from basic FDTL compliance to full scientific risk management — with CAMO, Engineering, Safety SMS and an immutable Audit Log.

FRMS Journey

Three phases. One structured path to full FRMS.

Phase 1Month 1–3 · Mandatory Nov 2025
Prescriptive FDTL Compliance
Day FDP ≤13h / Night FDP ≤10h (WOCL reporting, new Nov 2025)
Rest = max(12h, preceding duty); post-WOCL: 24h + local night + 2h buffer
48 consecutive hours rest within any 168-hour rolling window (new Nov 2025)
Maximum 2 consecutive night duties per 7-day period (reduced from 4, Nov 2025)
Weekly flight time ≤35h; 28-day ≤100/125h; Annual ≤1,000h flight / ≤1,800h duty
FDP extension ban during split duty (Jan 2024, enforced Nov 2025)
Phase 2Month 4–9 · Voluntary
Predictive Risk Management
Bio-mathematical fatigue score (SAFE / FAST model implementation)
Circadian rhythm and sleep pressure modelling per crew member
7-day fatigue pattern detection and early warning alerts
AI crew recommendation engine (Claude Sonnet — suggests least-fatigued crew)
Trend evidence reports for DGCA FRMS Phase 2 progression
Phase 3Month 10+ · Voluntary
Full FRMS Certification
Scientific evidence library with peer-reviewed fatigue research references
Hazard register with corrective action workflow and closure tracking
FRMS policy and procedure documentation with version control
DGCA audit package — all evidence auto-compiled from platform activity
Continuous improvement loop integrated with SMS incident data
Compliance suite

Every regulatory module, connected.

PHASE 1
FRMS Phase 1

Fatigue status board, FDP/rest validation, cumulative FTL tracking and Do Not Assign alerts. The foundation of regulatory compliance.

PHASE 2
FRMS Phase 2

Bio-mathematical fatigue modelling, circadian rhythm scoring, 7-day pattern detection and AI crew recommendations.

PHASE 3
FRMS Phase 3

Scientific evidence library, hazard register, FRMS policy documentation and DGCA audit-ready reporting package.

CAMO
Engineering Risk

Technical risk scoring for maintenance deferrals, MEL items and engineering safety events integrated with crew scheduling.

AIRWORTHY
CAMO Planning

Continuing airworthiness task planning, component expiry tracking and maintenance release integration with the ops schedule.

SMS
Safety SMS

DGCA SDMS-compatible incident and hazard reporting, risk matrix visualisation and corrective action tracking.

AUDIT
Audit Log

Immutable audit trail for every roster change, FDP override, pairing build and compliance decision with user attribution.

DOC CTRL
Operations Manual

Digital operations manual with version control, chapter-level change tracking and distribution confirmation recording.

DGCA Specific

Built for DGCA.
Not adapted from foreign frameworks.

Most crew management platforms are built for FAA or EASA and then adapted for India. Fatigue Shield was designed from scratch for DGCA CAR-OPS (Jan 2024) with the November 2025 enforcement fully built in.

DGCA CAR-OPS Jan 2024 — fully enforced Nov 1, 2025
Day FDP ≤13h / Night FDP (WOCL) ≤10h validated at pairing build
168-hour rolling rest cycle (new Nov 2025 weekly rest rule)
Maximum 2 consecutive night duties per 7-day period
FDP extension ban during split duty (Jan 2024 rule)
DGCA SDMS occurrence report format and digital submission
Indian aviation calendar and multi-base SME architecture (5–50 aircraft)
