My position is that an FDP ends when the brake is set with no intention of further ac movement, and that airport/standby rsv is only part of the same FDP when it occurs before or in between flight segments.
My position is backed up by explicit language in the statute andFAA Clarification letters, yours is based on assumption.
We'll find out who is right soon enough.
You've presented nothing other than one reference from 117. I'd be happy to entertain any clarification letters you say you are using.
Under your assumption, because it is an assumption, when you start airport reserve and are subsequently assigned flying, it is illegal. You did not receive your requiste 10 hour rest prior because you reported for duty without any intention of aircraft movement and left your rest status as required by the company.
When your RAP or Airport Reserve begins, you have an intention of aircraft movement as assigned by the company. For the former, you are limited to 14 hours of reserve availability and for airport reserve, you are limited to time calculated in Table B.
