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.

    3 Extensions
       3.1Subject to subclause 3.2, at the discretion of the FCM, an FDP may be extended up to a maximum of 1 hour beyond the FDP limit in subclause 2.2, provided the FCM considers himself or herself fit for the extension.
       3.2An FDP must not be extended beyond the end of evening civil twilight, unless this is necessary to complete the duties associated with the last daylight flight.
       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.

    4 Off-duty period limits
       4.1Following an FDP, an FCM must have an off-duty period of at least 10 consecutive hours.
       4.2An FCM must, in any consecutive 384-hour period, have a period of at least 2 consecutive days off-duty.
Note   384 hours is the number of hours in a 16-day period.

    5 Limit on cumulative flight time
       5.1The cumulative flight time accrued by an FCM during any consecutive 384-hour period must not exceed 100 hours.
       5.2If the operation is a mustering operation, the cumulative flight time accrued by the FCM during any consecutive 30-day period must not exceed 120 hours if the combined total of his or her flying time in mustering operations as pilot in command and pilot in command under supervision is less than 500 hours.
       5.3The cumulative flight time limits in subclauses 5.1 and 5.2 may be reset to zero immediately after the FCM is provided with at least 5 consecutive days off-duty.
       5.4The cumulative flight time accrued by an FCM during any consecutive 365-day period must not exceed 1 200 hours.
       5.5The cumulative flight time limit in subclause 5.4 may be reset to zero immediately after the FCM is provided with at least 28 consecutive days off‑duty.
Note 1   384 hours is the number of hours in a 16-day period.
Note 2   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.

    6 Maximum durations must not be exceeded
