QCAR-OPS 1.1080 Fatigue of crew – operator’s responsibilities

(a) he has established a scheme for the regulation of flight times for every person flying in that aircraft as a member of its crew;
(b) the scheme is approved by the CAA subject to such conditions as it thinks fit;
(c) either:
(i) the scheme is incorporated in the operations manual required by QCAR OPS 1.200; or

(2) an operator of an aircraft shall not cause or permit any person to fly therein as a member of its crew if he knows or has reason to believe that the person is suffering from, or, having regard to the circumstances of the flight to be undertaken, is likely to suffer from, such fatigue while he is so flying as may endanger the safety of the aircraft or of its occupants.
(3) an operator of an aircraft shall not cause or permit any person to fly therein as a member of its flight crew unless the operator has in his possession an accurate and up-to-date record in respect of that person and in respect of the 28 days immediately preceding the flight showing:
