FAR Part 117 Duty Calculator

Questions pilots actually ask

Why is my limit only 9 hours?

Because of when you report. Table B is flat 9 h for a 0000–0359 report regardless of segments, and drops to 9 h at 5+ segments for late reports (1700–2359). Check the band-by-band guide.

Does a deadhead count as a segment?

No — but it is duty, and it sits inside your FDP if it comes before or between flights without a rest period. Transportation to or from the hotel is not deadhead and is not FDP at all.

Does the hotel shuttle eat my 10-hour rest?

Rest is measured from release. If shuttle + check-in means you can't get 8 uninterrupted sleep hours inside the 10, you must notify the company and you may not report until you get a compliant rest.

Can I fly past my FDP limit?

Only after takeoff, only as far as needed to land safely at the destination or alternate, and an extension over 30 minutes counts only once before you get a 30-hour free-of-duty rest. Before takeoff, an unforeseen-circumstances extension is capped at +2 hours with PIC and company concurrence.

What are the cumulative numbers?

60 FDP hours in any 168 h, 190 FDP hours in any 672 h, 100 flight hours in any 672 h, 1,000 flight hours per calendar year — and all flying for any certificate holder counts.

Is this my contract?

No. Part 117 is the regulatory floor — your CBA and ops spec are usually stricter. This tool computes the federal minimum only.

Where do saved scenarios go?
