Rationale: The Federal Aviation Administration enacted updated flight time and duty time regulations for flight crew members (14 CFR Part 117) effective January 4, 2014. The regulation defined three levels of in-flight rest facilities: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. The maximum allowable flight duty period limitations vary based on the FAA-approved class of the in-flight rest facility. Similarly, EASA enacted Commercial Specification - Flight Time Limitation (CS-FTL) regulations, also referenced in this ARP.
