Little later check sched and I'm on a trip that gets in around 1900. Sched calls (side note, now know why all pilots hate scheds) and is somewhat shocked when I ask how it's legal to run me 3 hours past my sc window. Huffily offers to look it up. Does so and reads a bunch of numbers at me that sum up to me being legal (can fly) till 2000.
Is that true?
(I will read the PWA, but I find it a legal substitute for ambien)
FDP limit for a short call assignment:
• Scheduled FDP must end no later than the earlier of:
1. FDP report time plus FDP limit from FAR Part 117 table B or C.
2. RAP start time plus: FAR part 117 table C value (augmented crew) plus 4 hours, including FDP extensions.
3. RAP start time plus: FAR part 117 table B value (unaugmented crew) plus 4 hours, not to exceed 16 hours prior to any extension.
I got that from the scheduling reference handbook, don't ask me to translate.
