So the crew change would be in GYE. That’s the only reasonable way to break up the duty periods. It’s 13+ in a Sovereign, but 11-ish in a Global or Gulfstream. With pre-flight and pax and customs, just doable in a 14-hour duty.

One track thinking. One or two stops could have been pax and/or crew. But are the duty period limits set by the outfit? Does Part 91 have any duty/flight time limits?
