       2.3If an FCM is assigned an FDP that is to commence before 0600 hours local time, being after the beginning of morning civil twilight — the assigned FDP must not be longer than 8 hours.
       2.4If an FCM is assigned an FDP that is to commence at or after 1400 hours local time — the assigned FDP must not be longer than 8 hours.
Note   If an FDP commences after 1700 hours on a day, the FDP must be less than 8 hours because, under paragraph 2.1 (b), an FDP must not end later than 0100 hours on the following day (all times being local time at the commencing location).
       2.5An FCM may be assigned an FDP that finishes after 2200 hours local time (a late FDP) only if not more than 3 late FDPs are assigned to the FCM in any 168 consecutive hours.
       2.6An 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.

(c) an extension of the FDP is operationally necessary to complete the duty; and
(d) the FCM considers himself or herself fit for the extension.
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 discretion not to permit an extension.
Note 2   Guidance on the assessment of individual cognitive and physical fitness is contained in CAAP 48‑01.
       3.2Flight 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.
       3.3An FDP limit must not be extended under this clause if it would cause an FCM to exceed the cumulative flight time limits in clause 5.
       3.4Despite 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;
