Yes. Except for the extremely rare circumstances where they reach QS naturally in the coverage ladder, all QS should be going out with less than 8 hours to report. So the catch there is a pilot actively on LC cannot get a QS unless the first duty period is DH-only. All of the other F code GS provisions (like early report coming off VAC or any report before 1000 on first day of LC) don’t really apply given the 8 hour QS restrictions.
