You must be able to report for such a trip NLT 2 hours after the start of your short call period.
So, if you advise scheduling that you will be unavailable because you are traveling in, your short call duty period is still from the original time.
Example to make sure:
- Notified of short call from 1000-2200.
- You tell scheduling that you will be traveling in (ie. 1200 is when you will be there.)
- You duty period for FAR purposes still started at 1000.
Right?
