This means that crew members need to have had 30 hours of rest within the past 168 hours leading up to their report time for their flight duty period or reserve availability period. This ensures that crew members have had sufficient rest before starting their next duty period, promoting safety and preventing fatigue-related issues.Rate this question:

No more than one pre-takeoff FDP extension exceeding 30 minutes is legal without receiving this much rest.
-
36 hours at base.
-
10 hours of physiological nights rest.
-
30 hours
-
8 hour sleep opportunity. The pilot is responsible for getting the sleep.
Correct Answer
A. 30 hoursExplanation
The pilot is allowed to extend their pre-takeoff Flight Duty Period (FDP) by a maximum of 30 minutes without requiring additional rest. This means that they can work for an additional 30 minutes beyond their scheduled FDP without needing any rest time. However, any further extension beyond this 30-minute limit would require the pilot to have a specific amount of rest time before they can continue their duties. The given answer, "30 hours," indicates that the pilot can extend their FDP by up to 30 minutes without needing any additional rest.Rate this question:

If the time spent in deadhead transportation exceeds Table B, how much rest must the pilot receive?
-
30 hours once they return to base.
-
18 hours rest, within 24 hours of when they exceeded Table B.
-
Double the time spent in dhedhead, but not less than 10 hours.
-
10 hours.
Correct Answer
A. Double the time spent in dhedhead, but not less than 10 hours.Explanation
If the time spent in deadhead transportation exceeds Table B, the pilot must receive double the time spent in deadhead, but not less than 10 hours, as rest. This means that if the pilot spends 5 hours in deadhead transportation, they must receive a minimum of 10 hours of rest. However, if the pilot spends 15 hours in deadhead transportation, they must receive 30 hours of rest. The rest period is proportional to the time spent in deadhead transportation.Rate this question:

The correct answer is 12 hours. This much notice is required to assign an LC reserve a trip beginning before and extending into the WOCL. This means that if a reserve is needed for a trip that starts before the WOCL (Window of Circadian Low) and continues into it, the airline must give a minimum of 12 hours notice to the reserve.Rate this question:

A long call can be converted to a short call as long as they have 12 hours rest.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
A long call and a short call are two different types of options strategies. A long call involves buying a call option, while a short call involves selling a call option. These strategies cannot be converted into each other simply by having 12 hours of rest. The decision to enter a long or short call position depends on the investor's outlook and strategy, and cannot be changed based on a time restriction. Therefore, the statement that a long call can be converted to a short call as long as they have 12 hours rest is false.Rate this question:
