What is the max # of hours a pilot and co pilot can be ON DUTY in any 24 hr period. (On duty being , "on the clock" whether or not flying.) such as , having mechanics check a minor problem.
How many hours can he fly? Define " flying ." Is this only the time the plane is in the air, or does it mean whenever the aircraft has engines on, taxiing , waiting to take off, etc.
What happens if , due to bad weather, the pilot is running out of time. Can he (within reason) complete his tour of duty?
He may be out of time in Phila, but he is assigned to still do a Phila-Baltimore hop. Can he do it?
Next question, hours of rest. Please define it. Does this mean, sent to a motel to sleep?
Or, is he considered "resting" when, for example, he arrived Baltimore at 2PM, left the airplane at 230PM and doesn't have to be back until 330 PM and he goes to lunch?
How does this work?
Also how do you measure a "day." Noon to Noon, Mid to midnight, and how about time zone changes?
Thanks
