So, if you agree, the max duty time per contract that you can be on duty is 15 hrs based on a 13 hr scheduled plus 2 hour extension. Just remember that the max duty time listed on your rotation is what you add 2 hours too. 16 hrs is an FAR limit. I will never go beyond 2 hours above my max scheduled duty time on the rotation.

Just to make things more muddy, all these rules do not apply if you are on SC or 23K recovery, in that case your on the hook for all 16 hours. There is a nice flow chart in the "When Scheduling Calls."
