    6 Maximum durations must not be exceeded
       Unless an extension is permitted under clause 3, in performing duty an FCM must not exceed the following:
(a) the maximum duration of the FDP specified for the FCM in the AOC holder's operations manual;
(b) the maximum flight time specified for the FCM in the AOC holder's operations manual.

Note   Appendix 6 does not apply to flight training in a flight simulation training device.

    1 Sleep opportunity before an FDP or standby
       An FCM must not be assigned or commence an FDP or standby unless he or she has at least 8 consecutive hours' sleep opportunity within the 12 hours immediately before commencing the FDP or standby.
Note   See subsection 6 of this CAO for the definition of sleep opportunity, where it is defined as occurring during an off-duty period.

    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.
       2.2For any FDP, an FCM must not be assigned flight time longer than 7 hours.
 2.3 In 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.

       3.2After 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 7 or 9 of this Appendix.
