"Flight duty period(FDP) means a period that begins when a flightcrew member is required to report for duty with the intention of conducting a flight, a series of flights, or positioning or ferrying flights, and ends when the aircraft is parked after the last flight and there is no intention for further aircraft movement by the same flightcrew member. A flight duty period includes the duties performed by the flightcrew member on behalf of the certificate holder that occur before a flight segment or between flight segments without a required intervening rest period. Examples of tasks that are part of the flight duty period include deadhead transportation, training conducted in an aircraft or flight simulator, and airport/standby reserve, if the above tasks occur before a flight segment or between flight segments without an intervening required rest period"

Also there's this little thing:"(b) Any reserve that meets the definition of airport/standby reserve must be designated as airport/standby reserve. For airport/standby reserve, all time spent in a reserve status is part of the flightcrew member's flight duty period."

See? Easy.

Something you could copy and paste into a PM for me? I sure would appreciate it. I really don't want to call dispatch for this LOL! Reason I need them is I copy data strait from crew-web and usually only end up with "CYD" etc. instead of an N number. Mention publicly if you send a PM, so other's don't have to bother Thanks so much!
