Jeppesen, a part of Boeing Digital Aviation, today introduces CrewAlert Pro, a new iPad app designed to assist airline crew with preventing and mitigating fatigue. Now available for both iPad and iPhone, CrewAlert Pro helps airline crew and safety professionals comply with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) fatigue risk management guidelines.

Specifically, CrewAlert Pro features that help airlines comply with ICAO guidelines include:

  • Predictive capabilities for fatigue avoidance and awareness.
  • Proactive fatigue data collection.
  • Provision of operational fatigue mitigation strategies tailored to crew roster context and individual crew settings.
  • Reactive fatigue reporting to provide a streamlined process for both crew and safety departments.
  • Analysis of scheduling patterns and fatigue and incident reports

“CrewAlert Pro now offers powerful Boeing Alertness Model fatigue prediction capabilities in a native iPad app,” said Tomas Klemets, head of Scheduling Safety at Jeppesen. “CrewAlert bridges the gap between theoretical science and airline operations, by simplifying fatigue risk management functions for ease of use by crew in their daily work. Overall, CrewAlert Pro on iPad will help to transform fatigue risk management for the airline industry, through increased integration with airline crew scheduling systems and with fleet-wide airline enterprise deployment capabilities.”

The new CrewAlert Pro iOS app is available for purchase through the Apple App Store in most major global markets for $29.99. CrewAlert Lite, a version of the app solution with limited features, is also available at no charge.
