X-Day Moves and the 30/168 Requirement
FAR 117 requires a pilot to have 30 hours of rest in the 168 hour period immediately preceding an assignment
to short call or to a rotation. PBS awards are not affected by this requirement, however certain X-day move
requests are denied for this reason. The PCS system, in order to ensure compliance with this rule, will deny
an X-day move if it does not provide at least 30 consecutive hours of rest in each 168 hour period, unless that
condition already exists as a result of the pilot’s PBS award. In most cases, this will require two contiguous
X-days in each seven calendar days.
The PCS programming uses the following logic:
• The move cannot create a 30 in 168 violation, if one didn’t exist, or
• if a pilot already has seven days on call, then the X-day(s) move cannot create more than 13 days oncall
(This is because one violation already exists and allowing more than 13 contiguous days on-call
would create a second violation).
