Flight Time limitations

[ahramin]

604 only applies to aircraft which are:

Turbine powered,
Pressurized, AND
Carrying passengers.

From what the lad is saying none of the above apply, let alone all of them.

Nor is he flying a commercially operated airplane.

So NO max hours, NO max duty day length, NO required rest period.

Obviously flying tired is a bad idea, but the duty hours, times, days rules do not stop people from flying tired anyway.

Here's a specific situation see what you guys come up with:

705 and flight instructing part time?

[ahramin]

Depends on which TC inspector you talk to.

When instructing, it obviously does not matter how much 705 flying you have been doing.

However, when flying 705, all your hours count towards the flight time limitations, regardless of what part they were flown under. As for the minimum rest periods and time free from duty:

A flight crew member shall use a rest period provided pursuant to subsection (3) and Section 700.19 to obtain the necessary rest and shall be adequately rested prior to reporting for flight duty.

If you have three days off and go water skiing, no one is going to argue, but if you have three days off and go instructing well, it depends on the inspector. What about someone working at Tim Horton's rather than instructing?

What is necessary rest? I would say as long as you are adequately rested when you next show up for work, go for it.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up, guess the flight school S.O.L !

Sounds like a crop sprayer working for a flying farmer here. Bottom line is if there is an accident or incident there will be an investigation into flight and duty times. Even if you haven't exceeded duty times, you can be liable for wreckless and neglegent if you knowingly pushed your safety limits.
