Rule: The hours of rest in any 24-hour period can be split into no more than 2 periods

To ensure that the crew member gets sufficient uninterrupted rest/sleep, this rule was introduced to limit the number of breaks that qualifying rest periods can be split into.

The more times a rest period is split, the higher the likelihood the crew member will suffer from fatigue through lack of suitable sleep.

Essentially:

  • The crew member must receive a minimum of 10 hours rest in any 24-hour period

  • The 10 hours must be split into no more than 2 break periods

  • Where the largest rest period must be 6 hours or greater

The 24-hour period is not defined, so any timeframe can be taken to calculate this rule.
