FAR and Contractual
how many rules are in each form of legality?
3 rules for FAR as set forth by the FAA
1 rule for contractual
what legality does duty fall into?
contractual
what legality does FDP fall into?
FAR
define duty day.
report to release
define max schedule and max actual.
max schedule is the max hours you can SCHEDULE a pilot prior to notification
max actual is the max hours once NOTIFIED
what is the time between max schedule and max actual?
2 hours
how long can pilots dead head over the duty limits?
no more than 1 HR PAST MAX ACTUAL duty limits for an OVERNIGHT
UNLIMITED at the end of their pairing BACK to DOMICILE
when is a pilot allowed to request a hotel room as a result of deadheading?
if projected past 1 hr. max actual at the end of their pairing
define FDP?
starts at REPORT time for the duty period and ends at BLOCK IN of LAST OPERATING SEGMENT with no further intent to fly
what does not qualify as a flight segment?
deadheads, diverted segments, or gate returns
what can pilots do if they have reached their scheduled FDP limit?
take an extension
what are the extension times?
30 mins. or less
31 mins. to 2 hrs.
how many times can a pilot take a 30 mins. or less extension?
unlimited (till the cows come home)
how much consecutive rest does a pilot need between FDP extensions greater than 30 minutes?
30 hours if intending to take another 31 or more extension or
10 hours to take a 30 min or less extension
what pilot do we need to contact when an extension is taken?
the PIC (pilot in command)
define block.
from break release to break set WITH INTENT TO FLY
what is the minimum amount of rest required between release and report?
10 hours
if a pilot took a 49 minute extension yesterday, are they eligible for an FDP extension today?
yes, as long as it is 30 minutes or less
define WOCL.
Window Of Circadian Low
incursions with FDP between 0200-0559L
how much time is a pilot given uninterrupted rest?
8 hours
what is the rule for WOCL?
pilots CANNOT have more than 3 days in a row
is a text message considered a interruption of rest?
no, a text message is not an interruption of rest
define buffer.
limits that are contractual restrictions on the FAR legalities
what does a buffer do?
stops a pilot from trading too close to their buffer limits
who can exceed the buffer limits and who cannot?
scheduling can schedule past the buffer limits
pilots CANNOT
what are the buffer times for block, FDP, and rest?
block - 30 mins
FDP - 1 hr. 30 mins
rest - 11 hrs.
define MBI.
specific time the pilot must be blocked in from the last operating leg of their duty day
how do you calculate for MBI?
report time (central) + limits = MBI
*remember to determine limits using Local rpt time
what limit do you use to calculate MBI?
the most restricted limit
w/o extension and w/ extension
*IF DUTY is most restrictive limit then there is NO extension
define LWU.
latest wheels have to be up for you to remain legal
how do you calculate for LWU?
(MBI) - (arrival - off) = LWU
if you don’t have ETA / ETD, what do you use?
SKA / SKD
define MTO.
tells the pilot how long they have from the moment they release the breaks to get wheels up before hitting block limit
how do you calculate for MTO?
(block limit - total block) + (off - departure) = MTO
what does daily block minus total block show you?
it shows how much extra
what does off minus departure show you?
it shows how much regardless
what is a (B) legality?
buffer
is a (B) okay to have on the pink?
yes except for pilot trying to trade in
what is a (C) legality?
contractual
is a (C) okay to have on the pink?
no, if they have not been notified
yes, if notified (can go 2hrs past max schedule)
what is a (F) legality?
FAR
is a (F) okay to have on the pink?
only if they choose to take an extension
(can go 1 and 1/2 hrs. past FDP limit)
what is a (W) legality?
WOCL
is a (W) okay to have on the pink?
never okay
(need to change one WOCL day so it’s not more than 3 in a row)
