You're right 212man I am mixing licensing rules and operating rules. Do they act totally independently?
Example #1.
In Canada my blood alcohol must be 0. If in the country of my FLV they do not specify any blood alcohol limit then am I free to drink and fly? I think not. I think if Transport Canada found out they might revoke my licence and if I had an accident and I end up in a reasonable court they will nail my *** to the wall.
Example #2.
In Canada they mandate 3 days off in 30. If in the country of my FLV they do not mandate any days off EVER then am I free to work 30 days with no days off? More so then what Transport Canada would say is what would the court say?
