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.

    6 Standby limits and standby-like arrangements
       6.1An AOC holder must not require an FCM to be on continuous standby for a period longer than 14 hours.
       6.2The maximum allowable FDP after a call out from standby must be decreased by the number of hours by which the standby exceeds 4 hours.
       6.3A standby which is completed without a call out must be followed by an off‑duty period of at least 10 consecutive hours.
       6.4To remove any doubt, the period of time in which an FCM is held in a standby-like arrangement must be treated as a duty period for the purposes of this CAO.
Note   For example, the period spent in a standby-like arrangement must be included as part of a following FDP assigned to the FCM or added to the preceding FDP when determining minimum off-duty periods under clause 8.

    7 Positioning
       On completion of assigned flight duties in an FDP (the relevant FDP), an FCM may position to a suitable location as required by the AOC holder.
Note   As with any duty, the time spent in positioning after completion of the FDP must be added to the relevant FDP when determining minimum off-duty periods under clause 8.

    8 Off-duty periods

 Off-duty period following an FDP
       8.1If the sum of an FCM's FDP, and his or her duty time (if any) after completion of the FDP but before commencement of the following off-duty period, does not exceed 12 hours, his or her following off‑duty period must be at least as follows:
(a) if the FCM is undertaking the off-duty period away from home base — the sum of:
           (i) 10 hours; and
           (ii) the amount that the displacement time exceeds 3 hours if travelling west, or 2 hours if travelling east;
(b) if the FCM is undertaking the off-duty period at home base — the sum of:
           (i) 12 hours; and
           (ii) the amount that the displacement time exceeds 3 hours if travelling west, or 2 hours if travelling east.
       8.2If the sum of an FCM's FDP, and his or her duty time (if any) after completion of the FDP but before commencement of the following off-duty period (other duty time), exceeds 12 hours, his or her following off-duty period
