Each country can have their own additions and interpretations as long as an equeal level of safety is ensured (or something to that effect...)... Subpart Q starts on page 191 of the PDF document.

As i understand it FDP starts, as stated correctly above, when you check in for a flight. It stops, however, when on-blocks for the last leg and not when you check out. Flight duty period is not the same as duty period in subpart Q.
My 2 cents...

From the link provided under definitions, 1.1095, page 192:
Flight Duty Period:
A Flight Duty Period (FDP) is any time during which a person operates in an aircraft as a member of its crew. The
FDP starts when the crew member is required by an operator to report for a flight or a series of flights; it finishes at
the end of the last flight on which he/she is an operating crew member.
So from check-in to last on-block is correct.

"FDP starts when you check in and finishes when you check out."
sorry that should say;
FDP starts when you check in and finishes when you arrive on chocks/ATA
Duty starts when you check in and finishes when you check out.
