Peter and crwjerk,

ORD-AMS is only 7 hrs flying time = 8 hours FDP

Look at para 15 "Normal Ops" and both Table A and Table B allow Normal FDPS of 8 hours (shortest is 11 hours)

So it's Normal Ops

Now look at 15.4: 3rd crew member is only required for scheduled FDP of 9 hours, or 8 hours if through 0200-0600 Local of departure Airport.

You only need 2-man crew.

Just because it's > 6 time-zones, it isn't ULH.

If you flew an East-West flight at 89.9 degrees North, you could cross 6 time zones in about 8 or 9 miles; would that be ULH? No.

Peter, management love pilots who don't know FTLs......that'll be you, then.
