on whichever of the following is the more limiting in calculating the FDP:
 (i) the original reporting time;
           (ii) the time at which the FDP is taken to have commenced in accordance with paragraph (c).
       6.13 The combined duration of 1 or more delays and the immediately following FDP must not exceed 16 hours unless the FDP:
(a) is an augmented crew operation;
(b) contains a split-duty rest period.

 Cancellations — with or without operations manual procedures for delays
       6.14 If:
(a) an FCM's FDP is delayed under subclause 6.2 or 6.6; and
(b) the AOC holder informs the FCM that the flight will not occur (cancellation);
       then, the FCM must have an off-duty period of at least 10 consecutive hours, commencing from the time he or she is informed of the cancellation, before again being assigned an FDP in accordance with this Appendix or another Appendix of this CAO.

 Meaning of "informed"
       6.15 In this clause:
       informed means informed by the AOC holder in accordance with procedures in the holder's operations manual for communicating information between the holder and an FCM.

    7 Reassignment and extension
       7.1 After an FCM's assigned FDP commences, the AOC holder may reassign to the FCM a modified FDP and number of sectors to be flown (a reassignment), provided that each of the following applies:
(a) subject to subclause 7.3 — the modified FDP and flight time does not exceed the limits in the holder's operations manual for the new number of sectors;
(b) the FCM has confirmed that he or she is fit for the reassignment.
       Note   Fitness in this context is based on the FCM's self-assessment. An FCM has an obligation under paragraph 16.1 of this CAO not to carry out any task for a flight if, due to fatigue, the FCM is, or is likely to become, unfit for the task. If such circumstances apply, the FCM must decline the reassignment.
       7.2If subclause 7.1 applies, the FCM may continue in the modified FDP in accordance with subclause 7.1.
       7.3Despite the FDP limits provided in the operations manual, in unforeseen operational circumstances at the discretion of the pilot in command:
(a) the FDP limits in the operations manual may be extended by up to:
 (i) 1 hour; or
 (ii) for an augmented crew operation under clause 5 — 2 hours; and
(b) the sectors for the FDP limits may be increased by 1 more than would otherwise be the case for the FDP.
       7.4 Before exercising the discretion under subclause 7.3 to extend the FDP limit of an FCM, the pilot in command must:
(a) do the following:
           (i) consult each FCM who is a crew member on the aircraft;
           (ii) be satisfied
