Nacreous Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I'm sure many pilots have had some exceptionally busy periods during their careers that may have likely contributed to the flight duty limits we have today. What was your busiest day, week, month or year prior to the current limitations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
