10 Rest Requirements ORO.FTL.235 Condition Required Rest Rest At Base Reduced Rest Compensatory Rest Max FDP Following Reduced Rest No Suitable Accommodation is Provided Maximum of: Previous Duty Time or 12:00 12:00 (Under FRM) Increased by the difference between Required Rest and Reduced Rest Given Reduced by the difference between Required Rest and Reduced Rest Given Suitable Accommodation is Provided Transition from Late Finish or Night Duty to Early Start Maximum of: Previous Duty Time or 10:00 Includes 1Local Nights Rest (LNR) 10:00 (Under FRM) Increased by the difference between Required Rest and Reduced Rest Given Reduced by the difference between Required Rest and Reduced Rest Given Not Applicable - May not be Reduced Reduced Rest is only permitted for approved FRM operations. Duty Break is not a rest period. Rest Period begins when a CM is released from Duty and ends when a CM Reports for the Next Duty.

11 Rest Requirements ORO.FTL.235 Other Rest Requirements at Base Extended Recurrent Recovery Rest (ERRR): An ERRR is at least 36 hours and includes 2 LNR. The maximum separation between two ERRRs is 168:00, this is the maximum span of time from the end of one ERRR to the start of the ERRR. Each Crew member must be given twice a month, ERRR that includes 2 local days. Time Zone Differences (Suitable accommodation provided): If a FDP involves a 4 hour time difference or more the minimum rest following that FDP is at least as long as the preceding duty period, or 14 hours, whichever is greater. May only happen once between two ERRRs Time Zone Differences (Suitable accommodation not provided): May only happen once between two ERRRs At home base, if a rotation involves a 4 hour time difference or more, the minimum rest is as specified in the following table: Maximum time difference (h) between reference time and local time where a crew member rests during a rotation Time elapsed (h) since reporting for the first FDP in a rotation involving at least 4-hour time difference to the reference time < : : > 6 and > 9 and

12 Rest Requirements ORO.FTL.235 Required Rest Maximum of: Previous Duty Time or 10:00 Rest Away From Base Reduced Rest 10:00 (Under FRMS) Compensatory Rest Increased by the difference between Required Rest and Reduced Rest Given Max FDP Following Reduced Rest Reduced by the difference between Required Rest and Reduced Rest Given Reduced Rest is only permitted for approved FRM operations. Duty Break is not a rest period. Rest Period begins when a CM is released from Duty and ends when a CM Reports for the Next Duty. Other Rest Requirements away from Base Time Zone Differences: May only happen once between two ERRRs If a FDP involves a 4 hour time difference or more the minimum rest following that FDP is at least as long as the preceding duty period, or 14 hours, whichever is greater.

13 Airport Standby (ASB) and Duties at the Airport ORO.FTL.225 The maximum time on ASB or Combined ASB & FDP is 16:00 (except Split Duty or Duties with In-flight Rest) The maximum time on FDP is reduced by the amount of time on ASB in excess of 4:00. A CM assigned to an ASB that does not lead to a FDP must be released into a rest period in accordance to the rest requirements under ORO.FTL.235. All time on ASB/Combined ASB & FDP counts towards the Cumulative Duty Limitations under ORO.FTL.210. Standby other than Airport Standby (OSB) ORO.FTL The maximum duration of OSB is 16 hours. 2. The operator s standby procedures are designed to ensure that the combination of OSB and FDP do not lead to more than 18 hours awake time % of time spent on OSB counts as duty time for the purpose of ORO.FTL.210 only if the OSB leads towards a FDP without an intervening rest period. 4. OSB is followed by a rest period in accordance with ORO.FTL OSB ceases when the crew member reports at the designated reporting point. 6. If the OSB ceases within the first 6 hours, the maximum FDP counts from reporting. 7. If the OSB ceases after the first 6 hours, the maximum FDP is reduced by the amount of OSB time exceeding 6 hours. 8. If the FDP is extended due to in-flight rest according to ORO.FTL.205(e), or to split duty according to ORO.FTL.220, the 6 hours of paragraph (6) and (7) are extended to 8 hours; 9. If the OSB starts between 23:00 and 07:00, the time between 23:00 and 07:00 does not count towards the reduction of the FDP under (6), (7) and (8) until the crew member is contacted by the operator. Reserve (RSV) ORO.FTL.230 The minimum time from the time a CM is notified until the CM is required to report for a FDP, ASB or start an OSB is 10:00. A CM assigned to RSV must meet the rest requirements for Extended Recurrent Recovery Rest (ERRR) under ORO.FTL.235(d).

14 Delayed Report Time Amount of Delay FDP Limits Based ON >= 10 hours Revised FDP Start >= 4 hours and < 10 hours More Limiting of Revised or Original FDP Start Time < 4 hours Original FDP Start When a cm has been given a second notification and the Delay will be less than 10 hours. FDP Starts at the earlier of: Time of 2 nd Notification + 1 hour Original Revised FDP Start Time
