Does such a ground return count as a sector for the purpose of calculating "Maximum daily FDP according to sectors"?
Is the maximum daily FDP based on flown or scheduled sectors in the EU? Here in Canada, max FDP is based on our scheduled sectors and time of report.
“sector” means the segment of an FDP between an aircraft first moving for the purpose of taking off until it comes to rest after landing on the designated parking position; No landing -> no sector?
But still a flight?
Look at this another way. According to the reference provided, a flight from ABC to XYZ runs off the side of the runway at XYZ due to slippery runway conditions. By the book that would not be classed as a sector given the flight did not come to rest after landing
on the designated parking position but rather at the side of the runway. Not exactly the intent of the reg methinks, despite that flight clearly being between two airports. Still, in the original RTG scenario, not a sector, but is a runway excursion not a sector too (extreme case I know)
