Under subpart Q, a break on the ground is to be counted as full (100%) FDP - unless:

1) you have access to private bed rest, in which case you can count 50% FDP

-or-

2) you have access to private bed rest, and the length of the break is given prior to the start of the break, and is at least 4 hours, in which case it does not count (0%) as part of the FDP.

Edit: I didn't find this in sub q when i checked, this is how it's stated in our ops manual. I don't know if it's a norwegian national difference or it's an AMC thing. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.
---------------------------------------

So:

1430-2220 gives FDP of 7:50
2220-0135 break on the ground outside WOCL of either 3:15 w/o bedrest or 1:38 with bedrest.
0135-0335 gives FDP of (2 hours + 1,5*95min WOCL correction) = 4:23.

Total FDP is then 15:28 w/o bedrest or 13:51 with bed rest.

Max allowable basic FDP of 13 hours, minus 3x30min for additional sectors, gives max FDP of 11:30.

According to OPS 1.1105 2.2.3, when the WOCL is encroached by up to, but less than, 2 hours, extension of FDP is limited to 2 sectors. Since you do 5, you can't extend the max FDP.

Quite frankly I cannot see how this pattern is compatible with sub q unless I got the numbers all wrong.
