Based on the above image which refers to Flight Duty Periods, taken from CAP 371: Avoidance of Fatigue in AirCrews Section C, Annex A, Page 10 (
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP371.PDF) and cross referenced exactly with the table presented to us at the Forums, its fair to presume the following scenario could take place:
SIGN ON: 1755
DJ 642 BNE-PER 1855/2245
DJ 645 PER-BNE 0000/0610
SIGN OFF: 0640
How does one come to such a presumption? Looking at the table, you can see that a duty of 2 sectors that signs on between 1300/1759 local time for an acclimatised crew member (you are usually acclimatised when signing on at home base) the Flight Duty Period can be 12 1/4 hours. FDP, according to the July Forums info which is available in the CCDMs offices, is defined as "Sign On to Chocks On at Final Destination" ie it
excludes sign off time.
The example above uses current blocked flight times, albeit with scheduled departure times slightly altered - which can be done, to bring the current 1855 sign on for DJ642BNEPER forward to 1755 and therefore extending the FDP crew can be rostered to. Times shown above are LOCAL times too - so dont forget that Perth is 2 hours behind EST (or 3 hours behind SYD/MEL etc in DST).
Any thoughts?
