Minimum Cockpit Occupancy
EASA Safety Information Bulletin 2016-09R1 titled Minimum Cockpit Occupancy addresses the presence of at least two authorised persons in the flight crew compartment during commercial air transport operations of large aeroplanes equipped with secure flight crew compartment doors. It revises the previous SIB 2016-09 and focuses on mitigating risks related to single-pilot occupancy, including pilot incapacitation and intentional acts. The bulletin provides recommendations for operators to implement procedures ensuring continuous two-person cockpit occupancy with defined roles and training requirements.
