What is the maximum flight time allowed from January to December?

• A. 800 hours
• B. 900 hours
• C. 1000 hours
• D. 1100 hours

Answer: (B)

The limit being tested is the annual flight time cap counted over a calendar year (January to December). Regulations set this ceiling to manage fatigue and ensure safe operation, and the count resets each January. 900 hours is the maximum allowed in a calendar year. This means you can’t accumulate more than 900 flight hours across the entire year, regardless of how they’re spread across different months. For example, if you fly 600 hours in the first half of the year, you’d have up to 300 hours left for the remaining months before hitting the cap. The other numbers don’t fit because 800 hours would be below the maximum, while 1000 or 1100 hours exceed the annual limit and would not be permissible under these rules.
