If a 2-sector FDP is affected by Home Standby, what would its maximum FDP be?

• A. 11 hours
• B. 12 hours
• C. 13 hours
• D. 10 hours

Answer: (A)

This question tests how Home Standby changes the maximum FDP for a two-sector crew. In this context, the allowed FDP duration depends on the number of sectors and the standby arrangement. For two sectors, the baseline maximum FDP is twelve hours. When Home Standby is in effect, that limit is reduced by one hour to account for the less favorable rest and more uncertain start times associated with being on standby at home. So, the maximum FDP under Home Standby for two sectors becomes eleven hours. The other numbers correspond to different scenarios: twelve hours would apply without the Home Standby restriction, thirteen hours would typically require more sectors or a more favorable arrangement, and ten hours would reflect a more restrictive case not applicable here.
