§ 117.1 Applicability.
(a) This part prescribes flight and
duty limitations and rest requirements
for all flightcrew members and certifi-
cate holders conducting passenger op-
erations under part 121 of this chapter.
(b) This part applies to all operations
directed by part 121 certificate holders
under part 91, other than subpart K, of
this chapter if any segment is con-
ducted as a domestic passenger, flag
passenger, or supplemental passenger
operation.
(c) This part applies to all flightcrew
members when participating in an op-
eration under part 91, other than sub-
part K of this chapter, on behalf of the
part 121 certificate holder if any flight
segment is conducted as a domestic
passenger, flag passenger, or supple-
mental passenger operation

21
Federal Aviation Administration, DOT
§ 117.3
part 121 operations pursuant to 121.470,
121.480, or 121.500.
§ 117.3 Definitions.
In addition to the definitions in §§ 1.1
and 110.2 of this chapter, the following
definitions apply to this part. In the
event there is a conflict in definitions,
the definitions in this part control for
purposes of the flight and duty limita-
tions and rest requirements of this
part.
Acclimated
means a condition in
which a flightcrew member has been in
a theater for 72 hours or has been given
at least 36 consecutive hours free from
duty.
Airport/standby reserve
means a de-
fined duty period during which a
flightcrew member is required by a cer-
tificate holder to be at an airport for a
possible assignment.
Augmented flightcrew
means a
flightcrew that has more than the min-
imum number of flightcrew members
required by the airplane type certifi-
cate to operate the aircraft to allow a
flightcrew member to be replaced by
another qualified flightcrew member
for in-flight rest.
Calendar day
means a 24-hour period
from 0000 through 2359 using Coordi-
nated Universal Time or local time.
Certificate holder
means a person who
holds or is required to hold an air car-
rier certificate or operating certificate
issued under part 119 of this chapter.
Deadhead transportation
means trans-
portation of a flightcrew member as a
passenger or non-operating flightcrew
member, by any mode of transpor-
tation, as required by a certificate
holder, excluding transportation to or
from a suitable accommodation. All
time spent in deadhead transportation
is duty and is not rest. For purposes of
determining the maximum flight duty
period in Table B of this part, deadhead
transportation is not considered a
flight segment.
Duty
means any task that a
flightcrew member performs as re-
quired by the certificate holder, includ-
ing but not limited to flight duty pe-
riod, flight duty, pre- and post-flight
duties, administrative work, training,
deadhead transportation, aircraft posi-
tioning on the ground, aircraft loading,
and aircraft servicing.
Fatigue
means a physiological state
of reduced mental or physical perform-
ance capability resulting from lack of
sleep or increased physical activity
that can reduce a flightcrew member’s
alertness and ability to safely operate
an aircraft or perform safety-related
duties.
Fatigue risk management system
(FRMS) means a management system
for a certificate holder to use to miti-
gate the effects of fatigue in its par-
ticular operations. It is a data-driven
process and a systematic method used
to continuously monitor and manage
safety risks associated with fatigue-re-
lated error.
Fit for duty
means physiologically
and mentally prepared and capable of
performing assigned duties at the high-
est degree of safety.
Flight duty period (FDP)
means a pe-
riod that begins when a flightcrew
member is required to report for duty
with the intention of conducting a
flight, a series of flights, or positioning
or ferrying flights, and ends when the
aircraft is parked after the last flight
and there is no intention for further
aircraft movement by the same
flightcrew member. A flight duty pe-
riod includes the duties performed by
the flightcrew member on behalf of the
certificate holder that occur before a
flight segment or between flight seg-
ments without a required intervening
rest period. Examples of tasks that are
part of the flight duty period include
deadhead transportation, training con-
ducted in an aircraft or flight simu-
lator, and airport/standby reserve, if
the above tasks occur before a flight
segment or between flight segments
without an intervening required rest
period.
Home base
means the location des-
ignated by a certificate holder where a
flightcrew member normally begins
and ends his or her duty periods.
Lineholder
means a flightcrew mem-
ber who has an assigned flight duty pe-
riod and is not acting as a reserve
flightcrew member.
Long-call reserve
means that, prior to
beginning the rest period required by
§ 117.25, the flightcrew member is noti-
fied by the certificate holder to report
for a flight duty period following the
completion of the rest period.
