(b) A certifrcate hol.der may reschedule a Protected Time Period during any
scheduled period of consecutive days of reserve by the following:
Intent: To provide the reserve pilot with a predictable, prospective rest period and also
give the oPerator scheduling flexibility to accommodate unforeseen circumstances.
Rescheduling a PTP +/- 3 hours is only applicable to that PTP. Remaining reserve days in
a block would begin at the original start time, Shifting of a PTp does not extend a
Reserve Availability Period (RAP).
Example:
Ø Rescheduling the beginning of a protected rime period a
marimum of three hours later wiÍhoul prior notificatian.
(In this example, under no circumstances may a PTP start time be later than 2300)
Day I
PTP 2000 to 0600 (original PTP)
Day 2
PTP 2300 to 0900
Day 3
PTP 2000 to 0600
2270
,-Fæ.
Rationale: Delaying a sleep opportunity, up to three hours. is not excessively disruptiye
to circadian stability. In this case, no prior notificarion is required.
