Maximum flight time
I am reading something contradictory in my studies. I was wondering if I could get some input here.
121.481 states:"The maximum number of hours a pilot may fly in 24 hours is 8".
117.11 states:"No flight crew may accept an assignment or continue an assigned flight duty period if the total flight time
a)Will exceed the limits specified in Table A in figure 488 on page 10 if the operation is conducted with the minimum flight crew.
The table states that if your show time is between 05:00-19:59 your max flight time is 9.
What's the difference and which one is right
Thanks in advance for the help.
