YES, you are legal to finish the 2 remaining legs.

You are legal if it takes 11 hours to complete the trip as long as you get your compensatory rest requirement. But you must NEVER exceed your 16 hour duty limit.

<However, due to weather in your hub city and one destination, plus a lengthy ground stop, your times for the day after the first 3 legs are 2:00, 2:15, and 2:45, totalling 7:00 of flying. You're last two legs are scheduled to be 1:15 and 1:15, which should be pretty dose to actual now due to the weather moving out from the hub city.

Now what happens here? Since you were not rerouted, technically can you finish both legs? Or, since you will be over 8 hrs flying that day after the second to last leg (having 8:15 hrs flying before the last leg) are you timed out?>

As long as you did not change your original schedule, you can finish the entire trip. Even if it goes over 8 hours.

If you are scheduled or go over 8 hours of actual flight time within a 24 hour period, you will have to look at the rest required between duty periods and also the compensentory rest after the completion.

One thing that has changed in the past few years is that you can no longer be on duty more than 16 hours. The rule now says that you can not start a segment if the scheduled flight time will put you past the 16 hour limit.

By the way, it is a SA-2000, not a SF-2000

You cannot be scheduled to fly over 8 hours period.

Please read what I said in my post.

I was refering to being scheduled for over 8 hours of flight time within a 24 hour period. Not in a single duty period

And yes you can be....period
 
Yeah, and the thing you really
have to watch is the 16 hour/
24 hr lookback to find 8 hrs of
rest...and that is from take off,
not blockout...ie:you block out in
time to complete the flight in time,
but a cell sits on the departure
corridor and delays you to the point
you would exceed 16hrs duty before
you reach the destination, you can't
take off...yeah, clear as mud!!!
