Split duty calculations
Hello all,
I need some clarification on the Split duty rule.
CAR OPS 1 subpart Q states the following for the rule on split duties
"When an FDP consists of two or more sectors/duties, of which one can be a positioning journey counted as a sector, but separated by less than a minimum rest period, then the FDP may be extended beyond that permitted by the amounts indicated below".
My question is can you have more than one break within a duty period and therefore calculate the split duty more than once i.e flight, break, flight, break, flight would mean you could in effect extend the FDP twice?
Its a little unclear and I wondered if any of you have had experience of this. I believe they base their rules on CAP371 so what do the Uk operators do?
Many thanks
