Flight Time Limitation (Private) Flashcards
Who is responsible for the integrity of the AOC for Non-Commercial operations?
The Accountable Manager
AOC stands for Air Operator Certificate.
What is the policy of the Company regarding Non-Commercial operations?
Conduct operations under AOC Commercial Air Transport requirements, except as exempted
This policy ensures safety and compliance with regulations.
What takes precedence if a deviation is not specified in Section 14?
The OM-A
OM-A refers to Operations Manual Part A.
What is the purpose of the flight time and duty limitations scheme?
To assist with the avoidance of fatigue in crewmembers
This is critical for safety in Non-commercial Operations.
Who must approve deviations beyond flight time limitations?
The DFO or CP
DFO stands for Director of Flight Operations; CP stands for Chief Pilot.
What is the maximum Flight Duty Period (FDP) for a Two Crew Operation with 1-3 sectors from 08:00 - 19:59?
15 hours
FDP refers to the maximum time a flight crew can operate.
What is the maximum FDP for an Augmented Crew with 1-3 sectors?
18 hours
Augmented crews have additional members to manage longer duties.
What is the maximum consecutive hours a flight crewmember should spend at the controls with an augmented crew?
10 consecutive hours
After this, they must be relieved of all flight duty for at least one hour.
What is recommended for Two-Pilot crews during flights?
Controlled rest periods
This helps manage fatigue and maintain safety.
What is permitted as outlined in OM Part A Section 7?
The use of a split duty
Split duty allows for a break in the flight duty period.
What is the purpose of the alternative procedure in-flight relief?
To reduce the average level of fatigue
This procedure allows a third pilot to board during the second phase of the flight.
What must be ensured about the relief pilot before they start their flight duty period?
The relief pilot should be properly rested.
Who must be the pilot flying for the remainder of the Flight Duty Period (FDP)?
The relief pilot must be the pilot flying.
How should pilot monitoring duties be divided during in-flight relief?
Evenly divided between the pilots being relieved.
What is the requirement for the captain on duty during in-flight relief?
One qualified Captain on duty on the flight-deck at any moment.
What is stated about acclimatisation in non-commercial/private operations?
Need not consider the effect of acclimatisation on Duty Time periods.
What is the maximum extension of the Flight Duty Period (FDP) that the Pilot in Command (PIC) can plan at their discretion?
A maximum of 2 hours.
What is the minimum requirement for local nights before commencing an extended FDP?
2 local nights (minimum 34 hours) free from all duties.
What is the maximum allowable extension of FDP due to unforeseen circumstances?
The standard FDP may be extended with up to 3 hours.
What must happen for a Commander to decide to continue the flight beyond the maximum allowable duty period?
All crewmembers must agree after careful consideration of their fitness to fly.
What must be achieved after an extended Flight Duty Period?
24 consecutive hours free of duty.
How many extended FDP flights can be undertaken in any consecutive 28-day period?
A maximum of 3 extended FDP flights.
What document must be filled out before planning a Flight Duty Extension?
Planned Flight Duty Extension report.
What is required to obtain approval for a planned Flight Duty Extension?
Approval from the DFO or CP.
Fill in the blank: Non-commercial/private operations need not consider the effect of _______ on Duty Time periods.
[acclimatisation].
What is the maximum applicable Flight Duty Period (FDP) extension for augmented crew operations?
Not more than 2 hours
The extension is determined by the Commander and communicated to the crewmembers.
What must the commander notify the DFO or CP about if unforeseen circumstances occur during the final sector?
A CDR filled via Centrik
This notification is required if the permitted increase in FDP is exceeded.
What is the maximum aggregate flight time allowed in a 28-day period?
100 hours
This limit applies to the total of all previous flight times.
What is the maximum aggregate flight time allowed in a 12-month period?
900 hours
This limit is calculated up to the end of the previous month.
What is the maximum duty hours for flight crew in one FDP without split duty?
18 hours
With split duty, the maximum can be extended to 20 hours.
What is the maximum duty hours for flight crew in 7 consecutive days?
70 hours
What is the maximum duty hours for flight crew in any 14 consecutive days?
120 hours
What is the minimum rest period required before undertaking a Flying Duty Period?
12 hours
This can be extended to 13 hours after an extended FDP.
Under what exceptional circumstances can the minimum rest period be reduced to 11 hours?
At the PIC’s discretion
This should only be considered after assessing previous/subsequent duty and other factors.
What is the minimum accommodation requirement for rest periods?
Well-furnished bedroom with minimum noise, well-ventilated, and control over light and temperature.
What happens to the minimum rest period if traveling time to accommodation exceeds 30 minutes each way?
It must be extended
The rest period will be increased by the travel time.
Fill in the blank: A person shall not act as a member of the flight crew if their previous flight times during 28 consecutive days exceed _______.
100 hours
Fill in the blank: The maximum extension of the FDP is determined by the _______.
Commander
What is the minimum time a room allocated to a crewmember must be available for occupation?
10 hours
This is the minimum requirement for accommodation during travel.
What is the minimum rest period after 7 days of duty for crew members?
36 hours
This ensures crew members have adequate rest after extended duty.
How many days off must crew members have in any consecutive 4 weeks?
7 days
This is a regulatory requirement to ensure crew well-being.
What is a single day defined as in terms of time?
24 hours starting at 00:01 local time
This definition helps standardize rest periods.
What is the average number of days off crew members must have in each consecutive 4-week period?
At least 8 days
This average is calculated over 3 consecutive 4-week periods.
For Non-commercial Operations, what is the usual requirement for Reduced Landing Distance Required (LDA)?
80% LDA
This is an increase from the usual 60% LDA requirement.
How is the LDA adjusted for wet runway operations in Non-commercial Operations?
Factored LDR is multiplied by 15%
This adjustment accounts for reduced traction on wet surfaces.
What is the formula to calculate the required landing distance on a wet runway for Non-commercial Operations?
AFM LDR * 1.25 * 1.15
This results in AFM LDR multiplied by 1.44.
What data is used for Net Take-off Flight Path in Non-commercial Operations?
iPreFlight Genesis aerodrome analysis data
This data can be accessed through PreFlight Genesis or other electronic systems.
What is required for take-off data without full PreFlight Genesis analysis?
Permission of the DFO or management pilot
This ensures safety and compliance with operational standards.
What must the aircraft Pilot in Command ensure when using non-PreFlight Genesis analysis?
Known obstacles are taken into account and correct factoring of winds
This is crucial for flight safety and performance accuracy.
