       3.3In applying Table 3.1, first, choose the appropriate duration of off-duty period before the FDP for the FCM, then choose the number of sectors which are to be flown. The maximum FDP for the appropriate off-duty period for the FCM is the number under the chosen number of sectors that corresponds to the chosen off‑duty period.

       3.4An FCM may only be assigned 4 consecutive FDPs in an unknown state of acclimatisation after which the FCM must have an adaptation period sufficient to become reacclimatised in accordance with paragraph 7.4 at the beginning of this CAO.

    4 Increase in FDP limits by split duty
       4.1 Subject to subclause 4.4, where an FDP contains a split-duty rest period of at least 4 consecutive hours with access to suitable sleeping accommodation, the maximum FDP worked out under clause 2 or 3 may be increased by up to 4 hours, provided the new maximum under clause 2 or 3 does not then exceed 16 hours.
       4.2After an FDP mentioned in subclause 4.1, the first 4 hours of the split-duty rest period may be reduced by 2 hours in determining the subsequent off-duty period or cumulative duty time under clause 10 or 12 of this Appendix.
       4.3Subject to subclause 4.4, where an FDP contains a split-duty rest period of at least 2 consecutive hours with access to suitable resting accommodation, the FDP limits under subclause 2.1 or 3.1 may be increased by half the duration of the split-duty rest period, provided the increase is not more than 2 hours.
       4.4If a split-duty rest period includes any period between the hours of 2300 to 0529:
(a) acclimatised time; or
(b) if the FCM is in an unknown state of acclimatisation — local time;
       then:
(c) the split-duty rest period must be for a consecutive period of at least 7 hours with access to suitable sleeping accommodation; and
(d) the maximum FDP may be increased to 16 hours (if not already permitted); and
(e) the reduction in the subsequent off-duty period and cumulative duty time, provided for in subclause 4.2, does not apply.
       4.5Any remaining portion of an FDP following a split-duty rest period must be no longer than 6 hours.
