    2 FDP and flight time limits
       2.1An FCM must not be assigned an FDP longer than the number of hours specified in Table 2.1 in this clause (the FDP limit), as determined by the local time at the start of the FDP.
       2.2An FCM must not be assigned or commence flight time for flight training during an FDP unless the flight training is conducted during the first 7 hours of the FDP's flight time.
       2.3In applying Table 2.1, first, choose the appropriate local time at which the FDP for the FCM is to start. The maximum FDP for the FCM is the number that corresponds to the chosen local time at which the FDP for the FCM is to start.

    3 Increase in FDP limits by split duty
       3.1Subject to subclause 3.4, where an FDP contains a split-duty rest period of at least 4 consecutive hours with access to suitable sleeping accommodation, the maximum FDP worked out under clause 2 may be increased by up to 4 hours.
       3.2After an FDP mentioned in subclause 3.1, the first 4 hours of the split-duty rest period may be reduced by 2 hours for the purpose of determining the subsequent off-duty period or cumulative duty time under clause 8 or 10 of this Appendix.
       3.3Subject to subclause 3.4, where an FDP contains a split-duty rest period of at least 2 consecutive hours with access to suitable resting accommodation, the FDP limits under subclause 2.1 may be increased by half the duration of the split-duty rest period, provided the increase is not more than 2 hours.
       3.4If a split-duty rest period includes any period between the hours of 2300 to 0529 local time, then:
(a) the split-duty rest period must be for a consecutive period of at least 7 hours with access to suitable sleeping accommodation; and
(b) the maximum FDP may be increased to 15 hours (if not already permitted); and
(c) the reduction in the subsequent off-duty period and cumulative duty time, provided for in subclause 3.2, does not apply.
       3.5Any remaining portion of an FDP following a split-duty rest period must be no longer than 5 hours.
Note   These are the maximum FDP and flight time limits under this Appendix unless, for any particular FCM,
