b) 14 hours
c) 16 hours
d) 18 hours

Answer 1

The Split Duty Trip (SDT) FDP for the duty period plus the scheduled rest period cannot exceed 14 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Split Duty Trip (SDT) FDP refers to the maximum allowable time for a duty period plus the scheduled rest period for airline crew members. In this case, the SDT FDP must not exceed 14 hours. This means that the total time spent on duty, including flying and rest time, cannot exceed 14 hours.

For example, if a crew member starts their duty period at 8:00 AM and their scheduled rest period is 7 hours, the maximum time they can be on duty until is 9:00 PM (8:00 AM + 14 hours). If their duty period extends beyond 14 hours, it would not be compliant with regulations.
