From then on your future duty periods are supposed to start +- 8 hours of this Zone to attempt to keep you on a certain circadian cycle. However, if you keep reading (I am still trying to decipher this GRID thing) you will see that if you are given an 18 hour layover your Anchor Zone now is reset. Also the former 36 hour required reset layover seems to have been reduced to 32....

Again this is my interpretation, so if there is anyone one out there who can explain this Grid........please do so.
