Going back to the stand doesn’t consider 1 sector

Question 9

Split Duty how works?

Answer 9

Rest:
- Min 3 hours
- Max 10 hours

FTL extends 50%

+6 hours -> Hotel

Question 10

Commander’s Discretion

Answer 10

Multisectors -> 2 hours. Except the last one 3 hours

1 sector -> max 3 hours

Captain reports -> Discretion Report Form

Question 11

Standby Duty - FDP

Answer 11

Length of standby duty + Positioning + FDP completed.

Before completing 6 hours Standby -> FTL starts with Standby + FDP

After 6 hours -> FTL starts with Standby + FDP - ( Worked Standby - 6h)

Question 12

Reduction Rest

Answer 12

Asked by Company

DXB -> 1 hour -> but never below 12 hours

Outstation -> 1 hour -> but never below 11 hours

In such circumstances ( I understand is the situation where FC rest min of 11 hours) -> If Traveling hotel is +30’ -> increase rest = traveling time - 1h
In all cases check in and out hotel at least 10 hours.

Request by Commander -> Commander’s Discretion to Reduce Rest Period
- Up to 10 hours from Check in and out
- Only Exceptional
- Fill up a Discretion Report Form

That rule doesn’t apply for LRV

Question 13

Flight time Limitation

Answer 13

100 hours in the 28 days

900 hours in 12 momths

Respect this limitation at the beginning of the flight

For this calculation only counts time as Operating crew ( as recorded in the Voyage Report)

Question 14

FDP and FTL - Definitions

Answer 14

FDP - Flight Duty Period

FTL - Flight Time Limitation

Question 15

LRV - Standard Max FDP

Answer 15

S1 -> 18 hours

S2 -> 20 hours

In Exceptional Circumstances -> Extension:

• 4 pilots -> 22 hours
• 3 pilots -> 18 h ( Flight time 15 hours)

When can we push 3 crew to 18h?
- Anywhere (DXB and Outstation)

When can we push 4 crew to 22 h?
- DXB Delay no +4 h
- Outstation

Can we go further?
In exceptional operational circumstances, DSVP-FO or his designee may authorise a waiver of the limitations (3 men 18 h or 4 men 22 h

Question 16

LRV - Can we Reduce FC?

Answer 16

4 men crew -> 3 pilots (Max FDP 18 and Max Flight time 15 hours)
