(a) the maximum duration of the FDP specified for the FCM in the AOC holder's operations manual;
(b) the maximum flight time specified for the FCM in the AOC holder's operations manual.
            APPENDIX 5 AERIAL WORK OPERATIONS AND FLIGHT TRAINING ASSOCIATED WITH AERIAL WORK

    1 FDP limits
       1.1An FCM must not be assigned an FDP longer than the number of hours specified in Table 1.1 in this clause, as determined by:
(a) the local time at the start of the FDP; and
(b) whether the operation is a single-pilot operation or a multi-pilot operation; and
(c) for a multi-pilot operation — whether the number of sectors is 1 or 2, or 3 or more.
Note   Aerial work operations captured by this Appendix are widely varied. Therefore, operators are reminded to limit FDP in accordance with their operator obligations, and include FDP limits in their operations manual.
       1.2 An 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.

       1.4 For subclause 1.3:
(a) there must be no more than 2 increased FDPs in any 168 consecutive hour period; and
(b) the off-duty period before commencing an increased FDP must be not less than 12 hours; and
(c) an increased FDP must be followed by an off-duty period of not less than 12 hours; and
