Dr Alexandra Holmes is a fatigue management specialist with over ten years’ experience assisting aviation operators and other safety-critical organisations to develop and implement Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS).
An experienced researcher, technical author and trainer, Alexandra regularly undertakes fatigue risk assessments and large-scale research studies including the collection of data on sleep, fatigue and performance.
With a PhD investigating the effects of shiftwork and sleep loss on cardiovascular health, she has worked with Qatar Airways to assess the fatigue associated with ultra long-range operations to the US and undertook much of the initial research that informed the design of easyJet’s FRMS.
In addition to research, Alexandra specialises in enabling organisations to construct FRMS policies and procedures. She was instrumental in helping BP to develop global FRMS requirements and continues to provide advice to a range of industry regulators and operators on the design of FRMS manuals.
Alexandra delivers fatigue risk management training for regulators, managers, schedulers and pilots. Her regular teaching appointments include lecturing at Cranfield University, a quarterly ‘Introduction to FRMS’ course on behalf of the JAA-TO and fatigue management and LOSA training at the Baines Simmons Aviation Safety Academy.
