Yes and doesn't include "Other work". There is a requirement under the WTD for a 30 minute break once you've worked (including driving) 6 hours but that's different legislation running alongside EU drivers hours. > > 45min break can be taken in 15min segments. Not as it used to be.

In fact, the only difference with the trailer on is remembering that the trailer cuts corners. -- Conor I only please one person per day. Today is not your day.

Presumably a pilot has to calculate fuel levels and take off weighs, that I feel maybe the hard part of operating an commercial aircraft. |
