Yes commuting to/from base is done on your off time. That’s why 17 days is more like 19-20 depending on your gateway. Because you also need to show up at base with enough time for rest. No showing up at base a couple hours before showtime for work.
Even more days than that if you are doing a split pattern. 2 days on either side of each pairing. So now you are looking at 20-21 away from home.
