First Air law attempt

Glenny created the topic: First Air law attempt

I did my air law today and was gutted to get a 75% (failed by 2 questions). I reckon it was more of me getting done by CASA than being ill prepared.

I had a flight and duty time limit. If my tour of duty(appendix V) was from 1600-0100, how many times could I do this tour of duty without an increase from rest? I think it should be 4 because appendix 5 1.3 states that in any 168 hours, an FCM must not be assigned or conduct more than 4FDP which includes any time between midnight and 0459 local time. The other question was under the old CAO 48.0. Operating an aircraft less than 5700 kg VFR charter, the first FDP was 11hr 30 mins, second day was a rest the third day would last 11hr 45 mins. When is the next available day we can begin? day 4, 5 or 6? I picked day 5 because the operator shall not roster a pilot 2 consecutive tours of duty each of which is in excess of 11 hr unless a rest period of at least 23 hours is provided at the conclusion of the first TOD.

C) No, we cant fly under these circumstances
