Wrong Art. You can fly more than 8 hours in a day(24 hour period). .
If at the start of a flight segment you are going to exceed 30/7, you're going back to the gate
You are begining this trip with the last three days off. Your duty time is 1200 local. You start your trip and fly 6 hours and duty off at 2200 local. You are normal rest of 9 hours. You duty back in at 0700. You fly 4 hours and duty off at 1200 local again. It has been 24 hours since you started your assignment and you have flown 10 hours. If you look back on the 24 however, you have the required rest (9 normal or 8 reduced) in that 24 hours. If you had been reduced to 8, then your compensatory rest would be 10 hours, to begin within 24 hours of when your started the reduced rest (2200 local in this case).
Not quite true. If you are scheduled for more than 9 hours of flight time in a 24 hour period, your required rest becomes 11 hours which can be reduced to 9 hours. The next day, your compensatory rest should be at least 12 hours.
