Just curious … is the above a direct quote from the rule? … as it appears to be self-contradictory … particularly the phrase “…including 10 hours immediately prior to flight without disruptions like travel to the airport…” Unless there are definitions included with this information – like a definition of “travel to the airport” – specifically because there certainly is a difference in understanding (at least on the part of most folks) between the terms “travel to the airport” and “off duty” ... reading the above as printed, without any interpretation, would mean that pilots would have to spend the night, or at least the 10 hours immediately preceding their flight, AT the airport. I have a bit of a problem understanding this to be what was intended … eh?
