What is the maximum DP for 7 consecutive days?

• A. 60 hours
• B. 70 hours
• C. 50 hours
• D. 80 hours

Answer: (A)

A rolling seven-day limit on duty time is used to keep crews from accumulating fatigue. The maximum total DP in any seven consecutive days is 60 hours. This means you must plan so that the sum of all DP within any week-long window never exceeds 60 hours, regardless of how you distribute those hours day to day. For example, attempting seven days with 9 hours each would give 63 hours, which would go over the limit. Totals like 70 or 80 hours also exceed the cap, while 50 hours is simply below the maximum. So 60 hours is the upper bound for DP over seven consecutive days.
