 FDP limit may be increased twice per 168-hour period
       1.2 Despite subclause 1.1, the FDP limit for an FCM may be increased to not more than the following limits (an increased FDP) provided the conditions in subclause 1.3 are complied with:
(a) for a single-pilot operation — 12 hours;
(b) for any multi-pilot operation — 14 hours.
       1.3 For subclause 1.2:
(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
(d) an increased FDP must not be further increased by a split-duty rest period under clause 2, but it may be extended under clause 3.
Note   Clause 5 also requires that an FCM who conducts an increased FDP under this clause has an off-duty period of at least 36 hours, including 2 local nights, during the 168 consecutive hour period.
       1.4 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.
Note   Subclause 1.4 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.
       1.5 If, in the 8 hours immediately before an FDP (the 8-hour period), an FCM performed duties other than conducting a flight in an aircraft (non-flying duties) the maximum permissible duration of the FDP must be decreased by the greater of:
(a) 30 minutes; or
(b) the total duration of the non-flying duties performed during the 8-hour period.
       1.6 An FCM must not exceed an FDP limit set out in the AOC holder's operations manual in accordance with this CAO.

    2 Increase in FDP limits by split duty
       2.1Subject to subclauses 2.2 and 2.6, if an FDP contains a split-duty rest period of at least 2 consecutive hours with access to suitable sleeping accommodation, the FDP worked out under clause 1 may be increased by the duration of the split-duty rest period.
       2.2For subclause 2.1, the remaining length of the FDP resumed at the time the split‑duty rest period ends (the resumption time) must not be greater
