Swingline Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Gee, I always thought it was 24 hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sharky Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 15 is the max, with the flight duty extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wridon Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Here Here! It never ceases to amaze me how many who think they want to become professional pilots, would use Culhane to look up something that is in CARs, and therefore your responsibility to know. What else are you going to expect someone else to look up for you next time you have an emergency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingline Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 ---------------- It never ceases to amaze me how many who think they want to become professional pilots, would use Culhane to look up something that is in CARs ... ---------------- Agreed. Always go to the source; don''t rely on second-hand summaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imfsub12 Posted May 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 i don''t see why the bashing has to be we are all on the same side here. Hea i even ask a friend that works for a major airline and he said 14 too. Hea thats why we ask, sometime you don''t know how TC indexes things.... But thanks to sharky and C-FCRA for there answer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wridon Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I''ve been reading these forums long enough now, and I suspect so have you, to know that for every correct answer someone gives there is at least one self professed know-it-all who will give a wrong answer and argue it''s validity without trying to check it out where the original poster should have looked in the first place. These forums are a good place for us to voice our opinions on what we may think of the regs, but the regs are where the answers are.

Phil Croucher Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Are we talking about flight time or flight duty time? If the latter, the question is wrong! There is no maximum flight time limit in 24 hours, as such, except 8 hours if you're single-pilot IFR, or if you've done a 15-hour duty day beforehand. The "maximum" derives from the maximum duty day. It is theoretically possible to do 15 flight hours in a duty day of 15, but the maximum duty day anyone can do is actually 17, if you take into account split duties - since this is based on rest taken in the duty period, you would only be able to do 14 hours flight time. 15 is the "right" answer, but only because the others are wrong.
