command.
Note 1   Under regulation 91.215 of CASR, the pilot in command of an aircraft is responsible for the conduct and safety of members of the crew on the aircraft and, therefore, has a discretion to not permit an extension to occur even if otherwise permissible under this clause.
Note 2   Guidance on the assessment of individual cognitive and physical fitness is contained in CAAP 48‑01.

    5 Off-duty periods
       5.1 Following an FDP, an FCM must have an off-duty period of at least 10 consecutive hours.
       5.2Despite subclause 5.1, an FCM may take 2 off-duty periods of not less than 4 consecutive hours each, with an intervening duty period of not more than 2 hours, provided the total duration of the 2 off-duty periods is not less than 13 hours.
Note   The sleep opportunity requirements in clause 1 continue to apply. For example, if the use of 2 off-duty periods does not allow for a single period of 8 consecutive hours prior sleep opportunity, then paragraph 1.1 (b) of this Appendix provides for the option of using 2 or more periods to achieve a prior sleep opportunity of 10 hours, provided 1 of the periods is a minimum of 6 consecutive hours.
       5.3Before beginning any FDP, an FCM must have had  at least 2 full days (consecutively or otherwise) off-duty in the 14 consecutive days before the projected end time of the assigned FDP.
       5.4For subclause 5.3, a full day means the period between 2 consecutive midnights.

    6 Limit on cumulative flight time
       The cumulative flight time accrued by an FCM during any consecutive 28-day period must not exceed 50 hours.

    7 Limit on cumulative duty time
       7.1The cumulative duty accrued by an FCM during any consecutive 168-hour period must not exceed 45 hours.
       7.2The cumulative duty accrued by an FCM during any consecutive 336-hour period must not exceed 84 hours.
Note   168 hours is the number of hours in a 7-day period, and 336 hours is the number of hours in a 14-day period.
