following:
           (i) consult each FCM who is a crew member on the aircraft;
           (ii) be satisfied that each FCM considers himself or herself fit for the extension; and
(b) if the FCM whose FDP would be extended is the pilot in command — do the following:
           (i) consult each FCM who is a crew member on the aircraft;
           (ii) be satisfied that, as pilot in command, he or she is fit for the extension.
       3.3Flight training for up to 30 minutes may be conducted after the first 7 hours of the FDP's flight time if:
(a) unforeseen operational circumstances arise after the commencement of the FDP; and
(b) it is operationally necessary in order to complete the duty; and
(c) the FCM considers himself or herself fit for the extension.
       3.4Subject to subclause 3.5, any extension over the FDP limit requires the off-duty period required by subclause 5.1 to be increased by 1 hour for every 30 minutes, or part of 30 minutes, that the FDP is extended beyond the FDP limit.
       3.5 If an off-duty period calculated under subclause 3.2 is greater than 12 hours, the off-duty period may be reduced to not less than 12 hours provided that:
(a) the next FDP is conducted under this Appendix; and
(b) the off-duty period following the next FDP is at least 36 hours, including 2 local nights.
       3.6 An FDP limit must not be extended under this clause if it would cause an FCM to exceed the cumulative flight time limits in clause 6.
       3.7 Despite any limit or number under this Appendix, if:
(a) unforeseen operational circumstances arise after take-off on the final sector of an FDP; and
(b) the unforeseen operational circumstances would cause an FCM to exceed any limit or number permitted under this Appendix;
       then the flight may continue to the planned destination or alternate at the discretion of the pilot in command.
Note 1   Under regulation 91.215 of CASR, the pilot in command of an aircraft is responsible for the conduct and safety of members of the crew on the aircraft and, therefore, has a discretion to not permit an extension to occur even if otherwise permissible under this clause.
Note 2   Guidance on the assessment of individual cognitive and physical fitness is contained in CAAP 48‑01.

    4 Standby
       4.1An FCM may be placed on standby.
       4.2If an FCM is called out from standby to commence an FDP (which may include a split-duty rest period), the FDP must be followed by an off-duty period in accordance with clause 5.
       4.3If an FCM is called out to commence duties other than flying duties, the FCM may return to standby following that duty period. However, subclause 1.5
