cumulative flight time accrued by an FCM during any consecutive 365-day period must not exceed 1 200 hours.
       6.6The cumulative flight time limit in subclause 6.5 may be reset to zero if the FCM is provided with at least 28 consecutive days off-duty.
Note   These cumulative flight time limits are designed to mitigate the effects of cumulative fatigue. AOC holders are reminded, first, of the emotional, cognitive and physical effects of workload on the performance of FCMs in addition to fatigue and, secondly, that these limits are for optimal circumstances and may not be achievable due to hazard identification and other procedures required under subsection 15 of this CAO.

    7 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.
            APPENDIX 5A DAYLIGHT AERIAL WORK OPERATIONS AND FLIGHT TRAINING ASSOCIATED WITH AERIAL WORK

    1 Sleep opportunity before an FDP
       An FCM must not be assigned or commence an FDP at a location unless he or she:
(a) has had at least 8 consecutive hours' sleep opportunity within the 10 hours immediately before commencing the FDP; and
(b) on each of the 3 local nights immediately before commencing the FDP, has not carried out any duties during the 8 hours prior to 30 minutes before morning civil twilight at the location.
Note   The intent of paragraph (b) is to prohibit an FCM from undertaking an FDP under Appendix 5A if they have undertaken any duties on the 3 nights immediately before the FDP.

    2 FDP and flight time limits
       2.1An FCM must not be assigned or commence an FDP that:
(a) begins more than 30 minutes before the beginning of morning civil twilight at the location at which the FDP commences; or
(b) ends later than the end of evening civil twilight at the location at which the FDP commences.
Note   This subclause does not affect other legislative requirements that limit Day VFR operations.
       2.2An FCM may only be assigned an FDP with a total duration no longer than 14 hours in any 1 day (the FDP limit).
       2.3 An 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.
Note   Subclause 2.3 does not apply to a flight review or a proficiency check because these are not flight training as defined in paragraph 6.1 of this CAO.
