How does 121.525 pertain to that scenario. Since I am interupted more once, two separate legs as a two man. Do I fall under two man regulations for 30 days, after the trip? Or do I fall under other regulations?
Thanks!
(b) The flight time limitations for a pilot who is scheduled for duty aloft for more than 20 hours in two-pilot crews in 30 consecutive days, or whose assignment in such a crew is interrupted more than once in any 30 consecutive days by assignment to a crew of two or more pilots and an additional flight crewmember, are those listed in §§ 121.503 through 121.509, as appropriate.
Duty aloft more than 100 hours in 30 days is needlessly complex but i suppose the administrator has its reasons. Additional flight crewmember opens the door for engineers and nav’s. Are there any left but on Herc/L100s that apply?
