CAP 371 =

A day off must include 2 local nights.

A local night is a period of 8hrs falling between 2200 and 0800 local.

I know I am a bit old school here, but as 0000 cannot be allocated to a date unless defined, 2359 is the latest off duty time prior to a day off, as others have defined by CAP371. This being the last chance to comply with the local night definition.

By the old school rules, 0001 would indeed be the start of the day off, however, the duty must finish @ 2359, no later.

In the digital age and that of ACARS, one could say 2359:59 but don't tell the beancounters ;-)

As Daysleeper points out, at 0001 add 23:58 to the rest, or fly 'em again 12 hours later ;-) (sorry Day, couldn't resist)

thank you guys,

boredcounter, that's my question, the duty ends beyond LOCAL midninght (say 0115L) and the roster of the following day, they put Day Off (24hour though)

How about US FAR , is it mentioned there ?

Then that would depend on what type of operation it is FAR 121 Flag, domestic or supplemental? Part 135? Part 125? Part 91? If you are dispatching 121 dont forget Subpart P!!!!....kind of a can of worms really, If you can be a bit more specific....
