Flight and Duty Time Limitations
Operators are required to keep records of flight and duty times of all crew and to ensure that the defined maximum is not exceeded. In the UK the flight and duty limitations are defined in CAP 393 (the Air Navigation Order).
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
•Augmented flight crew: A flight crew which comprises more than the minimum number required for the operation of the aeroplane and in which each flight crew member can leave his/her post and be replaced by another appropriately qualified flight crew member.
•Block time: The time between an aeroplane first moving from its parking place for the purpose of taking off until it comes to rest on the designated parking position and all engines or propellers are stopped.
•Break: A period free of all duties, which counts as duty, being less than a rest period.
•Duty: Any task that a crew member is required to carry out associated with the business of an AOC holder. Unless where specific rules are provided for by this Regulation, the Authority shall define whether and to what extent standby is to be accounted for as duty.

Records and Logs Crew, 1
•Duty period: A period which starts when a crew member is required by an operator to commence a duty and ends when the crew member is free from all duties.
•Flight duty period: A flight duty period (FDP) is any time during which a person operates in an aircraft as a member of its crew. The FDP starts when the crew member is required by an operator to report for a flight or a series of flights; it finishes at the end of the last flight on which he/she is an operating crew member.
•Home base: The location nominated by the operator to the crew member from where the crew member normally starts and ends a duty period or a series of duty periods and where, under normal conditions, the operator is not responsible for the accommodation of the
crew member concerned.
•Local day: A 24 hour period commencing at 00.00 local time.
•Local night: A period of eight hours falling between 22.00 and 08.00 local time.
•A single day free of duty: A single day free of duty shall include two local nights. A rest period may be included as part of the day off.
•Operating crew member: A crew member who carries out his/her duties in an aircraft during a flight or during any part of a flight.
•Positioning: The transferring of a non-operating crew member from place to place, at the behest of the operator, excluding travelling time. Travelling time is defined as:
•time from home to a designated reporting place and vice versa,
•time for local transfer from a place of rest to the commencement of duty and vice versa.
•Rest period: An uninterrupted and defined period of time during which a crew member is free from all duties and airport standby.
•Standby: A defined period of time during which a crew member is required by the operator to be available to receive an assignment for a flight, positioning or other duty without an intervening rest period.
•Window of Circadian Low (WOCL): The Window of Circadian Low (WOCL) is the period between 02.00 and 05.59. Within a band of three time zones the WOCL refers to home base time. Beyond these three time zones the WOCL refers to home base time for the first 48 hours after departure from home base time zone, and to local time thereafter.
Flight and Duty Limitations
Cumulative duty hours: An operator shall ensure that the total duty periods to which a crew member is assigned do not exceed:
(a)190 duty hours in any 28 consecutive days, spread as evenly as practicable throughout this period; and
(b)60 duty hours in any seven consecutive days.
Limit on total block times: An operator shall ensure that the total block times of the flights on which an individual crew member is assigned as an operating crew member does not exceed
106
Crew, Logs and Records |
|

|
|
|
(a)900 block hours in a calendar year;
(b)100 block hours in any 28 consecutive days.
Operators may be authorized to extend FDP by augmenting the crew. This would be done on a case by case basis.
Maximum Daily Flight Duty Period (FDP)
The maximum daily FDP is 13 hours. On a multi-sector day this is reduced to; 12.5 hours for 3 sectors, 12 hours for 4 sectors, 11.5 hours for 5 sectors, and 11 hours for 6 or more sectors.
The FDP is further reduced if the flight commences or ends in the WOCL. (By 100% of the encroachment for commencement, 50% if the flight ends during the WOCL)
The FDP can be extended by up to an hour, but no more than twice in any 7 day period, and not if the FDP encroaches on the WOCL. In exceptional circumstances the Commander can further extend the FDP by up to 2 hours (3 with augmented crew) or to allow the aircraft to continue to its destination/alternate. Minimum crew rest must be ensured after any extension. A report must be submitted to the operator, which must be copied to the Authority within 28 days.
Rest
Unless the operator has permission from the Authority, when operating from home base the minimum rest period is 12 hours, or the length of the preceding FDP whichever is greater. When operating away from home base it is 10 hours or the duration of the preceding FDP, however, operators must take into account travelling time and the effects of time zone changes. A clear 8 hours rest must be allowed for.
Standby
If a crew member is required to be on airport standby a quiet and comfortable area not open to the public must be provided. Airport standby time is included in the total duty hours limit stated above. For standby at a location other than an airport, duty hours are calculated by the operator, in a manner acceptable to the Authority, taking into account facilities for rest and other factors which may affect fitness to fly.
Flight Duty, Duty and Rest Period Records
1. An operator shall ensure that crew members’ records include:
(a)block times;
(b)start, duration and end of each duty or flight duty periods;
(c)rest periods and days free of all duties;
and are maintained to ensure compliance with the requirements of this subpart; copies of these records will be made available to the crew member upon request.
Records must include all reports of extended FDP and reduced rest periods.
