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.

    5 Increase in FDP and flight time limits in an augmented crew operation
       5.1An acclimatised FCM in an augmented crew operation may be assigned an FDP that is no longer than the number of hours specified in Table 5.1 in this clause, as determined by the acclimatised time at the start of the FDP, the class of crew rest facility available, and the number of additional FCMs — but only if the conditions in subclause 5.3 are met.
       5.2An FCM in an unknown state of acclimatisation in an augmented crew operation may be assigned an FDP that is no longer than the number of hours specified in Table 5.2 in this clause, as determined by the duration of the off-duty period immediately before the FDP, the class of crew rest facility available, and the number of additional FCMs — but only if the conditions in subclause 5.3 are met.
       5.3For subclauses 5.1 and 5.2, the conditions are as follows:
(a) the AOC holder's operations manual must have procedures for augmented crew operations;
(b) the FCMs at the end of the FDP for the augmented crew operation must be the same as the FCMs who commenced the first sector of the FDP;
       Note   For safety reasons, this is a critical condition. If, for example, a medical emergency required the disembarkation of an FCM during the FDP, for the flight to continue all of the FCMs must be replaced with a new augmented crew commencing a new FDP.
(c) the FDP must be limited to not more than 3 sectors;
(d) the minimum in-flight rest during the FDP must be:
           (i) for each FCM who will not be at the aircraft controls during the final landing — 1.5 consecutive hours; and
           (ii) for each FCM who will be at the aircraft controls during the final landing — 2 consecutive hours;
(e) the in-flight rest must be planned for the cruise phase of the flight;
(f) if an assigned FDP is to exceed 14 hours, then:
 (i) not more than 2 sectors may be assigned; and
 (ii) where 2 sectors are assigned, either:
            (A) each FCM who will be at the aircraft controls during the landing at the end of the second sector must have had an in-flight rest period of at least 2 consecutive hours within the 8-hour period that ends at the scheduled time of the landing; or
            (B) the scheduled flight time of the second sector must be at least 9 hours;
(g) if an assigned FDP is to exceed 16 hours, then:
