Flight Time and Duty Time

I was Googling the CARs about Flight Time and Duty Time and came across this gem: a Study and Reference Guide for Chief Pilots of Commuter Operations.  It includes a number of questions (open-ended, not multiple choice) and the related CARs references.  It's perfect for highlighting some important info and a good way to test yourself.  Section 2 is particularly relevant to this post.

CAR 700.14 Monitoring System
(1) Operators need a system to monitor flight time, duty time, and rest period of each crew member.
(2) Flight crew members have the responsibility to notify the air operator if an assignment would result in the maximum times being exceeded.

CAR 700.15 Flight Time Limitations
Again, some things just need to be memorized:

• 1200 hours / 365 days
• 300 hours / 90 days
• 120 hours / 30 days (100 / 30 if on call)
• 60 hours / 7 days (aerial work / air taxi)
• 40 hours / 7 days (commuter / airline)
• 8 hours / 24 hours if single-pilot IFR

Of course there are always exceptions, like if the increase is authorized on the air operator certificate.

CAR 700.16 Flight Duty Time Limitations and Rest Periods

• 14 hours / 24 hours (includes 15 minutes of post-flight duties for commuter / airline)
• If 3 consecutive assignments are more than 12 hours, you need 24 hours off (unless you had 24 hours between each of them)
• If duty period includes a rest period, the duty time can be extended by up to half of the rest period (max. 3 hours), but the following rest period needs to be extended by the same amount. 

CAR 700.17 Unforseen Operational Circumstances

Maximums can be extended if the PIC and other flight crew agree and consider it safe.  This is for events such as unforecast adverse weather, equipment malfunction or ATC delay beyond the control of the air carrier.

CAR 700.18 Delayed Reporting Time

CAR 700.19 Requirements for Time Free from Duty

Whether flying or on call:

• Aerial Work / Air Taxi
• 3 x 24 hours / 30 days
• 13 x 24 hours / 90 days
• Commuter / Airline or On-Call
• 36 consecutive hours / 7 days
• 3 consecutive days / 17 days

CAR 700.20 Flight Crew Positioning
If a flight crew member is required to travel for the purpose of positioning:

• if the time for positioning is required after completion of a flight and is in excess of the flight crew member's maximum duty time then an additional rest period at least equal to half of the time spent travelling is required.

CAR 700.21 Flight Crew Members on Reserve

CAR 700.22 Long Range Flights

CAR 700.23 Controlled Rest on the Flight Deck

Must be authorized on the air operator certificate.

POP QUIZ!
What is the maximum allowable duty time for a flight crew member on reserve, if they are notified to report for duty between 22:00 and 06:00 without advanced notice?
