I’m sure this will have been touched on before but the search does not produce the result I’m looking for, so here goes:
Can anyone shed light on when a flight duty period starts, in terms of where you report? For example is it at Crew check in? Is it at the bag drop for the flight which just happens to be before security, thus taking about 30 mins before crew check in? Is it at the staff car park, etc etc?
Seem to remember a statement of ‘when you first carry out a duty required for the trip’, or words to that effect. Which could be argued staff car park, and certainly bag drop.
Have EASA provided an answer to this somewhere, or as usual, is this flight safety critical issue, along with much in the FTL section, open to interpretation?!
