What describes the time period from the report-for-duty time to the release-from-duty time?

• A. Duty Time
• B. Flight Time
• C. Working Window
• D. Scheduling Time

Answer: (A)

Duty Time describes the entire period a crewmember is on duty, from the moment they report for duty to the moment they are released from duty. It encompasses preflight preparation, boarding and the flight, plus post‑flight duties. The time spent actually in the air is called Flight Time, not Duty Time, so Duty Time is the correct description of the whole window from report to release. The other terms aren’t standard ways to define this on-duty interval.
