Ultra Long Range (something in the 13h+ flight time)
Long Range (up to that)

..... and I admire all the heroes who consider them fit after a ULR with 9+ hours time difference to make a flight back after 24h rest ..... but I will continue to think they are overrating themselves (one of the most common and dangerous phenomenons in the pilots society) and rather believe the extended and serious research by people who have studied medicine and fatigue issues (like NASA) than those guys.

Happy ULR flights and I hope I will never sit in the back of one of those heroes.
