What is the maximum DP for 28 consecutive days?

• A. 190 hours
• B. 180 hours
• C. 200 hours
• D. 170 hours

Answer: (A)

The question tests the limit on total on‑duty time over a 28‑day period. DP stands for Duty Period, the span from the start of a duty assignment until release, including all on‑duty tasks and delays that occur during that time. In this framework, the total DP in any 28 consecutive days cannot exceed 190 hours. This cap helps manage fatigue by keeping average daily on‑duty time at a level that allows adequate rest. You can spread those 190 hours across the 28 days in different ways, as long as the moving 28‑day total never goes above 190 hours. The other values would change the average daily workload and don’t align with this fatigue‑management limit.
