    4 Standby
       4.1An FCM may be placed on standby.
       4.2If an FCM is called out from standby to commence an FDP (which may include a split-duty rest period), the FDP must be followed by an off-duty period in accordance with clause 5.
       4.3If an FCM is called out to commence duties other than flying duties, the FCM may return to standby following that duty period. However, subclause 1.6 applies to a subsequent FDP.

    5 Off-duty period limits

 Off-duty period following an FDP
       5.1 Immediately after an FDP, an FCM must have an off-duty period of at least the following consecutive hours, during which there must be access to suitable sleeping accommodation for at least 8 consecutive hours:
(a) if the off-duty period includes the period between 2300 and 0559 hours local time — the sum of:
           (i) 8 hours; and
           (ii) the amount of time that the FDP exceeds 12 hours (provided the excess is not due to an extension mentioned in subparagraph (iv)); and
           (iii) the amount of displacement time of the FDP; and
           (iv) 1 hour for every 30 minutes, or part of 30 minutes, that the FDP was extended beyond the FDP limit;
(b) if the off-duty period does not include the period between 2300 and 0559 hours local time — the sum of:
           (i) 10 hours; and
           (ii) the amount of time that the FDP exceeds 12 hours (provided the excess is not due to an extension mentioned in subparagraph (iv)); and
           (iii) the amount of displacement time of the FDP; and
           (iv) 1 hour for every 30 minutes, or part of 30 minutes, that the FDP was extended beyond the FDP limit.

 Reduction in off-duty period
       5.2If an off-duty period calculated under subclause 5.1 is greater than 12 hours, the off-duty period may be reduced to not less than 12 hours provided that:
(a) the next FDP is conducted under this Appendix; and
(b) the off-duty period following the next FDP is at least 24 hours.

 Off-duty periods for cumulative fatigue recovery
       5.3If, in any consecutive 168-hour period (the period), an FCM conducts either:
(a) 3 or more FDPs, each of which involves a late-night operation; or
(b) an increased FDP in accordance with subclause 1.2;
       then the FCM must have an off-duty period of at least 36 consecutive hours, including 2 local nights during the period.
       5.4Before beginning an FDP or standby, an
