I’ve said no on both, based on my original report time making me go over 117 limit. Crew tracking was nice enough, and the reroute was removed.
Couple questions. Is the later airport report change legit for the company to use to calc 117 time? Is there any written PWA / FAR regarding when/if this is acceptable?
I'm just answering a 'where to find'. The SRH has several scenarios discussed with examples. Easiest way to find all the references is search the term "airport report" and it comes up with several instances. It sounds like the "Pay report" time and the "Airport report" time does change your actual FDP, however, they are accounted for in the regs. Airport report is the start of your FDP while the time between original report and airport report is counted as a RAP for determining the duty period limit.
(SRH pg 201 Reserve Availability Period (RAP) third bullet point says "Delayed Reports for all pilots")
