New GCAA Flight Time Limitations - It Could Not Be Any Worse
2000 duty hours is based on the UK working time directive which currently sits out side the ftl in the UK but is being put into EASA ftl schemes in the UK. It's roughly a forty plus hour week if one gets four weeks leave a year. The stick time change not very subtle is a game changer so the correlation with cap371 doesn't add up. There is no way the UK Caa would agree such a change with EASA looming and if it was a safety case would be needed. Someone gas sold gcaa a kipper. The only stopper is the duty limits but I can't see them getting in the way too much
