Well alright.

Lets look at the two duty time questions.

Question 5
At 0600 a pilot starts reserve time at home. Called in for duty at 1500 the same day. Latest time to finish duty is:
A 0700 the next day
B 0500 the next day

CAO 48 says in the general conditions that reserve time followed by a tour of duty can not exceed 23 hours. In the example above, A is 25 hours, B is 23 hours. Supposedly A is correct.

Question 1
Single pilot charter.
Day 1 completes 7 hr flight time, 9 hr duty time.
Day 2 completes 8.5 hr flight time, 10 hr duty time.
Minimum rest required after pilot finishes work at 2030 on day 2 is:

Pilot gets 2 hours extra rest because of the exceeded flight time. Take 10 hours rest between 10pm-6am plus the 1.5hrs between 2030 and 2200, and another 0.5 to make up the 2 hours, makes it 12 hours.

Other possibility depending on rest time between day 1 and day 2 is the pilot gets a 12 hour rest because of insufficient rest period between day 1 and day 2, plus the extra 2 hours, makes it 14 hours. I still can't come up with an answer of 13 hours...
