(I) For single augmentation, the assignment must be scheduled to be
completed within 18 hours after the end of the preceding
Protected Time Period; or

Extended flight duty period: additional flight crevy - Additional flight crew
afford the opportunity for each flight crew member to reduce the time at the
controls and provide for sleep during a flight duty period. Consequently, with
additional flight crew and an opportunity for sleep, it would be expected that
fatigue would accumulate more slowly. In such circumstances, flight duty
periods can be increased beyond the recommended limit of l2 hours within each
24-hour period. For each additional flight c_rew member who rotates into the
flight deck positions. the flight-õffid can be extended by 4 hours as long as
the following requirements are met: I ) each flight crew member be provided one
or more on-duty sleep opportunities; and 2) when the extended flight duty period
is l4 hours or longer, adequate sleep facilities (supine position) are provided that
are separated and screened from the flight deck and passengers. Controlled rest
on the flight deck is not a substitute for the sleep opportunities or facilities
required for additional flight crew members.
