Hi all

I would be grateful if someone is able to help clarify my understanding on CAP371 interrupted rest.

Section 7.3 Interrupted rest in CAP371 which states the following:

If, prior to the start of an FDP, a crew member's rest period is interrupted for operational reasons between 2300 and 0700 hours local time, the following shall apply:
If the disturbance happens earlier than 1 hour before the planned departure from the crew member's place of rest, the time elapsed between that disturbance and the departure time from the place of rest minus 1 hour, is to count as part of the subsequent FDP.
NOTE: The phrase `operational reasons' applies to such actions as contacting the customer, checking weather, liaison with ATC or any action pertaining to the planned flight.

My question is what are the implications on allowable FDP if crew are resting prior to a pre flight duty and are contacted outside the times of 2300 and 0700L?
The above makes it clear what the implications are if the crew are contacted between 2300 and 0700 but then doesn't go on to state the implications on FDP if they are contacted outside?
