Sometimes it helps to just pull out the FAR and do a little casual reading. It's only like 20 pages.

"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.

 

So basically, they can tack ready reserve on after any flying to total up to 16 hours after the original show time.

 

Again, it takes 10 minutes to read the regulation. I'll give a hint: you're flight duty period can never be 16 hours...or even 15 hours.

 

So if your ready reserve shift started at 0500, then you flew two legs they could put you back on ready till 1700 (12hour duty with 0500 show). But you would be useless for a flight that would infringe on that 1700 pumpkin time.

 

16 hours of duty is possible with home reserve if you were called out late on that reserve period causing your max FDP to be at or past 16 hour of total duty (short callout/FDP).

 

Got it figured out, so nevermind

 

Anyone have the scoop on CRJ class dates in Feb and March?

 

I was walking around the airport for you writing all of them down but I guess you found an easier way.

 

Hahaha! Now that's what sets you apart Skillett! Prior121 would have never done that for me

 

They don't have to put you to rest. A deadhead to end the day is permitted provided to exceed FDP limits provided you receive no less than a 10 hour rest or the time equal to the deadhead whichever is greater.
