• NOTE: The practice of inserting a short duty into a rest period of between 18 and 30 hours. In order to produce a rest period of less than 18 hours, thereby taking advantage of the longer FDP contained in Table B, is not permitted.

• Use the start time of the FDP (Adjusted to Reference Time Zone) and apply the number of sectors within the FDP.

CAR IS 8.11.1.13Late finishes/Early starts:


Standard Interpretation:

CAR IS 8.11.1.13Consecutive Night Duties (CND):


Standard Interpretation: • Before starting a series of Consecutive Night Duties (CND), a crewmember will be relieved of all

duties during the period that includes 21:00 to 08:00 local time preceding the start of the series of.• This measure ensures that a CM will have a LNR before the start of the series of CND; thus

avoiding a day to night transition to remain in compliance with UK-CAA – CAP-371 (A).2.3(a).

• If the Start of the series of CND begins earlier than 08:00 then the minimum rest period is equal to the following formula:

• Minimum Rest Before = Start time of CND + 27:00 • Example: 30:00 = 03:00 + 27:00 • Example: 27:30 = 00:30 + 27:00

• If the Start of the series of CND begins after 08:00 then the minimum rest period is equal to the following formula:

• Minimum Rest Before = Start time of CND + 03:00 • Example: 22:00 = 19:00 + 03:00• Example: 25:00 = 22:00 + 03:00
