Hi guys,
Here's a scenario I'd like some help with. Facts:
- 3-pilot augmented crew
- Flight planned for 12 hours of block with a technical stop at hour 5.
What if, due to extenuating circumstances (turbulence, unexpected taxi time, delay vectors on approach, etc.) you land at your technical stop at 5:10 of block.
Can you continue to your destination, knowing that you're going to be over twelve hours of time aloft? Or do you have to call it quits at your tech stop, get rest, and continue the next day?
In the airlines, our POI was big on "legal to start, legal to finish." We could have a 6-leg, eight hour day and be in excess of eight hours before the last leg, yet complete that final flight.
Just curious, as I've hear both sides of the argument in 135. Thoughts?
Thanks!
