Introduction
The Regulation lays down common EU rules in areas previously regulated at the national level while improving the level of safety established under EU-OPS Suppart Q, including: • Improvements for the application of Split Duty• A more scientific approach to deal with the effects of time zone differences• Establishing minimum criteria for the Application of Reduced Rest Periods • Establishing minimum criteria for extending the period of the flight on board in relation to inflight rest • to remain in standby mode other than the airport standby.
The new rules shall include the following changes: • a definition of the term "acclimatisation", better taking into account the effect of time zone differences; • better protection against cumulative fatigue due to:
o limit 1000 flight hours during 12 consecutive months o an additional limit 110 hours of duty in a period of 14 days
• better protection against cumulative fatigue using the following rest criteria:o long periods of rest elongated regenerative twice a montho the additional requirements for having a rest to offset the impact of disruptive scheduling
• better protection against fatigue transition by extending the period during which the FDP (Flight Duty Period) shall be reduced to 11 hours of hours between the hours of 17:00 to 05:00.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the EU. Member States will have to apply from 18 February 2016.
IntroductionThe implementing rules shall include the following explanation: • the calculation of the maximum basic FDP on the table instead of the calculations that have resulted in
different interpretations;• the definition of minimum standards of accommodation during standby at the airport and split duty period• an explanation of the rules governing decision making commander's discretion to reflect the interpretation of
OPS 1.1120 by the Air Safety Committee.
In addition to a standardized procedure Certification Specifications (CS) introduce a number of improvements to the safety: • reducing the maximum FDP in less favorable times of the day of 11 hours 45 minutes to 11 hours 15 minutes;• extending the flight duty and rest associated with the flight time will depend on the type of rest facilities on
board and the size of the flight crew• the rules governing the split duty will be based on defined minimum standards for accommodation and suitable
accommodation • mitigate the effects of alternating rotation of the east-west• standby mode other than the airport standby shall be limited to 16 hours• clearly defined requirements for the quality and type of airport facilities designed to remain on standby• The maximum total length of standby at the airport and the FDP will be 16 hours unless other arrangements
will be mitigation measures• rules for shortened rest period will guarantee the possibility of eight hours of sleep.
