The flight duty time limitations (FDTL) are laid down by the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to ensure adequate rest timings for pilots and flight attendants and prevent fatigue-related safety issues. The DGCA mandates that all airlines follow FDTL norms, which include rules such as all crew members can fly a maximum of 8 hours in a day, 35 hours in a week, 125 hours in a month, and 1,000 hours in a year. Other rules include that every crew member shall be given rest, which will be pro-rata twice the flight time subject to a minimum of 10 hrs in any 24 consecutive hours.
