NO. Stop using the word "trip." That's gone. Now it's Flight Duty Period - FDPs. FDPs is a daily occurence when you report to work and ends when you block in for your flight.

So one 4-day "trip" can actually be 4 FDPs, one each day. And if you have a layover greater than 30 hrs somewhere else, it could actually be a start of a NEW series of FDP, within that same 4-day "trip."

If you are using local time option #1 then you use the time of where the SERIES of the FDP began. If you get a 30 hr (or more) layover on the west coast, you have reset yourself to a new series of FDP which are now based on west coast time.

Suppose you takeoff at EWR at 9am and land at LAX at 12 noon. That was one FDP.

Now you have a 32 hr layover.

Then you takeoff 8pm LAX the following day going back to EWR. This is another FDP, and a new SERIES of FDP.

IF you are under option 1, then starting this trip, you use local time at EWR for table B for limitations. At LAX, beyond a 30 hr layover you started a new series of FDP so on the way back you use local LAX time to enter table B for limitations.

IF under option 2, home base time for same theatre (all 48 states)....... Then for the ENTIRE FDPs throughout your schedule, you always use your homebase local time (EWR) for table B limitations.
