Maximum Scheduled Duty Time (12 D.)
The maximum scheduled duty time for a pilot is based upon the type of flying being
performed (domestic, intra-theater, deadheading or ocean crossing), report time (for
domestic and intra-theater) and whether the flight crew is augmented.
The contractual maximum duty day is a scheduling limitation. You may be extended by up
to two hours due to a reroute or irregular operations. If rerouted in a deadhead-only duty
period, the two hour duty day extension does not apply. See WSC page 20-25 for additional
information.
Flight Time Limitations (12 E.)
The maximum scheduled block time for an international category pilot in a trans-oceanic
duty period is:
a) Eight hours on a two-pilot aircraft with a non-augmented crew
b) Up to 12 hours on a two-pilot aircraft if the crew is augmented with a relief First
Officer or on a three-pilot aircraft.
c) In excess of 12 hours block time in a trans-oceanic duty period if the flight crew is
augmented with a relief crew.
Note: Flight time limits for other types of operations are established by the FARs.
