Flight Time - Duty Time Limitations
There are various FTDT standards in use throughout the world today. One oft quoted document is CAP 371. ICAO is strangely silent on recommended standards. I am unsure on JAR standards regarding FTDT. Are they similar to CAP 371?
Canadian standards are shockingly lax and lean heavily in favour of the operator. With an Operations Specification, operators can ask pilots to work 42 days straight without a day off. This same specification allows a maximum of 150 hours of flight time in one month, up to 60 flight hours in one week....there are no daily maximum limits on flight time. Duty days are a standard 14 hours/day.
In the former Soviet Bloc countries, maximum duty time per week is 36 hours. For offshore work, the maximum duty day is limited to a standard 10 hours/day. Maximum monthly flight hours is circa 68-100 hours dependent on the local regulations ie. Russian, Azaeri, Kazakh etc.
What are the FTDT restrictions for offshore operations in other jurisdictions?
