Hi guys
Is there a limitation in maximum block hrs you can do in one FDP (flight duty period) with 2 landings? I have heard it is 8 hrs in ICAO regulations, is there any regulation for that in EU ops?

EU OPS allows a flight duty time of 14 hours planned, 15 with captains discretion. However a duty like that may only be planned twice within 7 consecutive days. Discretion can and may not be planned of course.

Given a normal report time of one hour that means you could in theory fly 13 blockhours non stop without any problem, however with two landings you have to deduct the turnaround time from that, so 12:30h to 12h is realistic.
