certificate holder’s operations speci-
fications. 

(5) A certificate holder conducting 

domestic, flag, or supplemental oper-
ations may assign a flight attendant to 
a scheduled duty period of more than 16 
hours, but no more than 18 hours, if the 
certificate holder has assigned to the 
flight or flights in that duty period at 
least two flight attendants in addition 
to the minimum flight attendant com-
plement required for the flight or 
flights in that duty period under the 
certificate holder’s operations speci-
fications. 

(6) A certificate holder conducting 

domestic, flag, or supplemental oper-
ations may assign a flight attendant to 
a scheduled duty period of more than 18 
hours, but no more than 20 hours, if the 
scheduled duty period includes one or 
more flights that land or take off out-
side the 48 contiguous states and the 
District of Columbia, and if the certifi-
cate holder has assigned to the flight 
or flights in that duty period at least 
three flight attendants in addition to 
the minimum flight attendant com-
plement required for the flight or 
flights in that duty period under the 
domestic certificate holder’s oper-
ations specifications. 

(7) Except as provided in paragraph 

(b)(8) of this section, a flight attendant 
scheduled to a duty period of more 
than 14 hours but no more than 20 
hours, as provided in paragraphs (b)(4), 
(b)(5), and (b)(6) of this section, must be 
given a scheduled rest period of at least 
12 consecutive hours. This rest period 
must occur between the completion of 
the scheduled duty period and the com-
mencement of the subsequent duty pe-
riod. 

(8) The rest period required under 

paragraph (b)(7) of this section may be 
scheduled or reduced to 10 consecutive 
hours if the flight attendant is pro-
vided a subsequent rest period of at 
least 14 consecutive hours; this subse-
quent rest period must be scheduled to 
begin no later than 24 hours after the 
beginning of the reduced rest period 
and must occur between the comple-
tion of the scheduled duty period and 
the commencement of the subsequent 
duty period. 

(9) Notwithstanding paragraphs 

(b)(4), (b)(5), and (b)(6) of this section, if 

a certificate holder conducting domes-
tic, flag, or supplemental operations 
elects to reduce the rest period to 10 
hours as authorized by paragraph (b)(8) 
of this section, the certificate holder 
may not schedule a flight attendant for 
a duty period of more than 14 hours 
during the 24-hour period commencing 
after the beginning of the reduced rest 
period. 

(10) No certificate holder conducting 

domestic, flag, or supplemental oper-
ations may assign a flight attendant 
any duty period with the certificate 
holder unless the flight attendant has 
had at least the minimum rest required 
under this section. 

(11) No certificate holder conducting 

domestic, flag, or supplemental oper-
ations may assign a flight attendant to 
perform any duty with the certificate 
holder during any required rest period. 

(12) Time spent in transportation, 

not local in character, that a certifi-
cate holder conducting domestic, flag, 
or supplemental operations requires of 
a flight attendant and provides to 
transport the flight attendant to an 
airport at which that flight attendant 
is to serve on a flight as a crew-
member, or from an airport at which 
the flight attendant was relieved from 
duty to return to the flight attendant’s 
home station, is not considered part of 
a rest period. 

(13) Each certificate holder con-

ducting domestic, flag, or supple-
mental operations must relieve each 
flight attendant engaged in air trans-
portation and each commercial oper-
ator must relieve each flight attendant 
engaged in air commerce from all fur-
ther duty for at least 24 consecutive 
hours during any 7 consecutive cal-
endar days. 

(14) A flight attendant is not consid-

ered to be scheduled for duty in excess 
of duty period limitations if the flights 
to which the flight attendant is as-
signed are scheduled and normally ter-
minate within the limitations but due 
to circumstances beyond the control of 
the certificate holder conducting do-
mestic, flag, or supplemental oper-
ations (such as adverse weather condi-
tions) are not at the time of departure 
expected to reach their destination 
within the scheduled time.
