[QUOTE=Systemized;2389762]It's black and white spelled out in 117. I can find the section if you want and post it but I'm certain 2-hour extensions for added flying is not legal. 2-two extensions are only legal for scheduled flying, flying that was on your schedule at your show time when your FDP began. In other words, once the FDP clock has started, you can't extend for added flying. You can only extend past your 117 table for delayed flights that were on your schedule......
Yes you cannot be extended just so they have u walk across to the next flight they just added to ur schedule. Example, U are operating a flight out of let's say Newark and u have 1hr of FDP left b4 u time out and suddenly ur airplane broke and takes 1.5 hrs to get it fix. That's wen scheduling will call to ASK you if u can take an extension for that UNFORSEEN circumstance. It is always up to u to accept it. If u feel ur getting too tired then NO, if u feel u can operate the flight safely then ok. Simple. That's what the UP TO 2 hr extension is for, unforseen circumstances.
U cant be sitting on reserve and they extend u for 2 more hrs to just sit there if that's wat the question was.
