(c) the FDP limit specified in Table 1.1 (including that limit as increased under subclause 1.2), provided the extended FDP does not exceed 16 hours; or
(d) the FDP limit specified in Table 1.1 as increased by a split-duty rest period under clause 2, provided the extended FDP does not exceed 16 hours.
       3.3 Before exercising the discretion under subclause 3.1 or 3.2 to extend the FDP limit of an FCM, the pilot in command of a multi-pilot operation must:
(a) do the 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;
(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.
Note   Due to the nature of medical transport operations and emergency service operations, for urgent operations extensions may be permitted in operational circumstances where the operator and the flight crew are satisfied the safety of the flight will not be impacted by fatigue.
       3.4 Despite the limits provided in the operations manual, the flight time limit for an FDP may be extended by not more than 30 minutes if:
(a) it is operationally necessary in order to complete the duty; and
(b) the FCM, or each FCM, considers himself or herself fit for the extension.
       3.5Flight 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.
       3.6An FDP limit must not be extended under this clause if it would cause an FCM to exceed the cumulative flight time limits in clause 7.
       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.
