It is referring to your block time. Basically any time you are actually operating the aircraft.

FDP is from sign on until chocks on on the final sector.

DP is sign on until sign off. You are allowed 190 hours duty in 28 days!

For some more info on fatigue, flight, rest and duty requirements refer to the UK CAA CAP 371. It is actually referenced in the CAR OPS Subpart Q in section CAR-OPS 1-1120. Quote:

''Note: Unless otherwise specified, the UK Civil Aviation Authority document Civil Aviation Publication, CAP 371 and its applicable parts, with associated amending notices, shall be the basis of assessment of operator schemes.''
