(d) If a flightcrew member travels more than 60o longitude during a flight duty period or a series of flight duty periods that require him or her to be away from home base for more than 168 consecutive hours, the flightcrew member must be given a minimum of 56 consecutive hours rest upon return to home base. This rest must encompass three physiological nights’ rest based on local time.
For the AA guys NYC this is good, for MIA pilots this is no help. For us it's Latitude not longitude. For MIA LHR 777 good!
A 4 day MIA EZE trip is 57:15 time away form base.
MIA 25 degrees N. EZE (Buenos Aires) 34 degrees S. = 59 degrees
A 4 day MIA GRU (Sao paulo) 25 N. - 23 S.
NYC 40 N - EZE 34 S. Good. if latitude counts.
