It was always my understanding that one could never go over 16 hours RAP.

Crew services is saying that you can go up to 16 hours, and then extend yourself upto 18 hours RAP.

Example, I'm on R6. I get called a 12:00 to do a rescue flight. When I tried to figure out if this was legal, I did my FDP +4 hours and then take the lesser of that or 16 hours. So my number was 22:00 their number was max time with extension was 24:00.




Any help is appreciated.
