GM2 CS FTL.1.235(b)(3) Additional rest to compensate for time zone differences

Q: If a rotation with three or more flight duty periods crosses time zones in both directions, what is the basis for calculating the required additional rest?

If such a rotation includes time zone crossings in both directions, the calculation is based on the highest number of time zones crossed in any one FDP during the rotation.

Q: What is the reference point for measuring the greatest time zone difference when determining additional rest for a multi-FDP rotation?

The greatest time zone difference from the original reference time should be used to determine the minimum number of local nights of rest.
