Instructing and 703 ops

[qwerty1]

Does anyone know if 703 duty rest regs are affected by instructing.

In an example, if you work a 13 hour shift on 703 and want to flight train in the evening that’s completely fine because instructing has no rest regs. Assuming you’re off the next day.

What I’m trying to find out is if it’s possible to, for example, flight instruct from 8-10am then do a 12 or 14 hour shift at a 703 operation starting at 10:30. Basically training during a 12 hour min rest period.

Weekly, monthly, yearly hours are not even close to max. This is just on the topic of duty rest.

If you feel working in the morning and then showing up to do a 14 hour duty day is reasonable then I really question your decision making skills.

Straight from the CARs 101.01:

"flight duty period means the period that begins when the earliest of the following events occurs and ends at engines off or rotors stopped at the end of a flight:

(a) the flight crew member carries out any duties assigned by the private operator or the air operator or delegated by the Minister before reporting for a flight,

(b) the member reports for a flight or, if there is more than one flight during the flight duty period, reports for the first flight,

(c) the member reports for positioning, and

(d) the member reports as a flight crew member on standby; (période de service de vol)"

I'll let you decide whether that applies to you. I would have to agree though...I'd question 1. your motivation and 2. your fatigue level, if you want to squeeze in 2h of flying during a min rest between (presumably) 2 max duty days.

That's talking about the maximum flight hours in certain periods. That doesn't cover rest periods.

Maximum Flight Time
700.27 (1) An air operator shall not assign flight time to a flight crew member, and a flight crew member shall not accept such an assignment, if the member’s total flight time will, as a result, exceed

(a) 112 hours in any 28 consecutive days;

(b) 300 hours in any 90 consecutive days;

(c) 1,000 hours in any 365 consecutive days; or

(d) in the case of a single-pilot operation, 8 hours in any 24 consecutive hours.

(2) For the purpose of subsection (1), a flight crew member’s flight time includes

(a) the flight time accumulated from other flight operations; and

(b) the total flight time of a flight with an augmented flight crew.

I don't think it's illegal to instruct during your rest period, just like you could go work construction during your rest period, although you'll likely be a good contender to be violated with reckless behaviour. And rightly so....
