Rule: Maximum hours of work shall not exceed 14 hours in any 24 hour period.

This rule, whilst seemingly straightforward, trips many up due to it’s rolling 24 hour period.

Essentially:

  • As stated, the crew member shall not exceed 14 hours of work in any 24 hour period

The 24 hour period is not defined (i.e 00:00 to 00:00) which means this rule will be calculated from the start of any work period that is started between 00:00 and 23:30 of that day.
