CrewAlert Lite
What is it about?
As part of a joint safety initiative, Boeing and Jeppesen have been developing tools for allowing better management of crew fatigue. CrewAlert is the first app designed specifically to help airlines and their crews manage alertness and fatigue. Built on the Boeing Alertness Model (BAM), a mathematical model of alertness, the CrewAlert app puts scientific knowledge in the palm of your hand.

For Everyone:
- CrewAlert provides the functionality of much more expensive alertness modeling products at a fraction of the cost.
- As flight and duty time limits increasingly move towards Fatigue Risk Management Systems, tools like CrewAlert will become increasingly useful for managing fatigue in any airline operation.
- While CrewAlert is designed with flight deck and cabin crews in mind, it is applicable to any 24/7 operation where human performance is crucial to safety.
For Crew Schedulers:
- CrewAlert is a useful tool for visualizing how scheduling decisions affect the crew members that are being scheduled.
- CrewAlert allows schedulers to investigate the causes of recurring problems in schedules and to consider alternatives to patterns which consistently result in crew fatigue reports.
For Airline Safety Officers
- CrewAlert can become a part of an airline’s Fatigue Risk Management System – allowing crew, schedulers, and safety officers to visualize fatiguing patterns and to look for solutions. CrewAlert is ideal to use in training situations to teach how current science plays out on a work/sleep pattern.
- CrewAlert also supports data collection allowing for schedule, fatigue, sleep, and performance data to be collected as part of the basis for establishing an airline’s FRMS. Collected data can be sent directly to the Jeppesen Crew Fatigue Assessment Service (CFAS) for visualisation – see www.jeppesen.com/cfas.
For Crew:
- CrewAlert allows flight and cabin crew to build scenarios based on planned or actual flight and duty schedule. After entering a few key pieces of information, including departure and arrival time, number of legs (sectors), and time zone shift,
- CrewAlert allows crew members to visualise the impact of planned schedule on future alertness (according to BAM).
- CrewAlert allows crews to build sleep journals of either actual or planned sleep. The sleep journal functionality can be used to investigate potential sleep strategies – to see which available sleep strategy best follows the available science.
- CrewAlert allows crews to collect sleep and alertness data for their own use. By keeping records of sleep and alertness, crews can discover what strategies work best for them.
