SAFETY AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT HUMAN PERFORMANCE: Jay Barrett (MIA) is the Article 48 Represe ntative for Human Performance. His report is below. • The 5 - year plan has not been finished by the HP offi ce for submission yet. The Program Lead has been in New Zealand presenting at a conference. Hopefully we will have somethi ng to submit by this Wednesday. • The fatigue office activities include: o We had a meeting with the FAA communication folks about using t heir license for distribution of a downloadable fatigue app. They were very open to the idea and believe it can be done. It will take some time to coordinate and there are license purchasing issues since they are working on a trial copy right now. Since th e license is the expensive part, we could later create all the apps we want. This gave the HP team some ideas on other content we could develop and push out to the workforce. More to come. o The Infinna/CSI web based application is at the first level of done . It can be viewed here http://atsaptest.cssiinc.com/alertness . If you want to try out the alertness meter, it will require inputting some sleep history. We are not sure what will happen with this goin g forward. There is some investment in this web based app, but it not what we really want. Conversations will have to be had with AJI Leadership. Beta testing will be next on the agenda. o The ZOA schedule issue has returned to front and center here because neither AJI nor AJT has given the facility an answer on their request for an AMOC for the 7210.3 fatigue prescriptive rules. Telcons have taken place and I discussed the issue at length with Conde in SJU last week. Jeff Richards (ZAU and Fatigue) and Mr. B arrett would like to have some baseline modeling completed from the fall of 2013 using the current sleep/wake/commute and break assumptions that are input into the model. They were somewhat different back then and those modeling parameters were used to for mulate the 7210 prescriptive rules. This should be completed by Thursday May 19th for report at the FSSC meeting. o The quarterly FSSC meeting is scheduled for May 19, 20. o The FRMT would like to distribute a survey to some facilities about fatigue managemen t and education. The survey is almost finished being edited and Mr. Barrett will approach S &T when it is completed.
