Hi CF and F ,
Just trying to see where you are coming from.
Are you saying that unless all 3 crew get three hours then the duty can't be extended?
And on flights where it is not possible for all three crew to get three hours then extension is not required anyway? I.e going to PVG, ICN etc
The FDP guidelines under ref/pubs (on the portal front page) seem to suggest you may be right. (version 2 9 jan 2014)
Extension of FDP
a. In-Flight Relief
An additional flight crew member can be carried to provide in-flight relief with the intent of extending the MAX Allowable FDP. The division of duty and rest must be kept balanced between the flight crew members.
The FDP shall only be extended if the total in-flight rest exceeds 3 hours for each flight crew member. The rest is not required to be consecutive.
Standing by for incoming...JJ be nice
