I assume that you need to check your schedule a block in plus 30 or duty out. They cannot add add on flying to your current trip once you have landed but they can add something for the next day until block out.
That is how I read it, and that is how I comply. I will answer my phone and check the VRU/DBMS until block in plus 30. After that I am released to rest.
Technically speaking they could have added it to your schedule prior to block in plus 30 you not have acknowledged it, and still have been legal for the SC. You would have gotten a call wondering why you had not acknowledged it about one hr prior to the start of the SC period.
Now if you waited until duty out and there was no assignment, you are released to rest. 1530+30 is 1600+ min required rest (9 hrs) =0100+10 is 1100 as the earliest for a SC if it was assigned after you were released to rest and assigned it the second you received your required rest.
Just for clarification, you are not released to rest unless it is noted on your schedule, such as following a reduced rest. Once you finish a trip, you immediately go on long call. So in this case, he could be assigned SC at any time with 10 hours notice. If they called him at 1700, then he could be assigned an 0300 SC.
