Files Modified

1. Definitions.md (now: definitions.html)

IDDiscrepancyFix Applied
D-01"Un-Augmented" used for 3/4-person crews (should be "Augmented")Fixed: renamed to Augmented and Augmented Reserve in FDP Types section
D-05"Extension" definition not grounded in §117.3Moved to App-Specific Terms; added regulatory context pointing to §117.19
D-06RAP described as "a duty period" — incorrect framingMoved to App-Specific Terms; clarified RAP is app shorthand for "reserve availability period"
D-12RAP and RO implied as §117.3 termsBoth now labeled [App-specific] with explicit disclaimer
D-0910 key §117.3 terms absentAdded all 10 missing definitions (see list below)

New §117.3 Definitions Added

  1. Deadhead transportation — includes critical note that deadhead is duty (not rest) and NOT a flight segment for Table B purposes
  2. Duty — foundational definition covering all FCM tasks
  3. Fatigue — regulatory purpose context
  4. Home base — required for §117.25(d) 56-hr rest calculation
  5. Physiological night's rest — 10 hrs encompassing 0100–0700 at home base or acclimated location
  6. Reserve flightcrew member — foundational for reserve operations
  7. Rest period — foundational for all rest calculations
  8. Unforeseen operational circumstance — prerequisite for §117.19 extensions
  9. Window of circadian low (WOCL) — 0200–0559; relevant to extensions and §117.17
  10. Rest facility classes 1, 2, 3 — definitions from §117.3 for Table C lookup

2. Calculator_US.md (now: calculator-us.html)

IDDiscrepancyFix Applied
D-02Augmented FTL stated as flat "13h / 17h" — omits rest facility classReplaced with accurate description: limits depend on start time, crew count, AND rest class; range 13–19 hrs
D-03Table B absentAdded complete text-based Table B (10 rows × 7 segment columns)
D-04Table C absentAdded complete text-based Table C (5 rows × 6 configurations)
D-07§117.25 rest requirements entirely absentAdded full §117.25 section covering all 7 subsections (a)–(g)
D-1030-min acclimation reduction lacks citationAdded "(Citation needed — verify against §117.21 or FAA guidance)" note

3. DutyPeriod_US.md (now: duty-period-us.html)

IDDiscrepancyFix Applied
D-11"PDF is Extended" typo (3 instances)Fixed → FDP is Extended, FDP Notes, Maximum FDP
D-08§117.19 extension rules entirely absentAdded full §117.19 Extensions section with code requirements

13/13 discrepancies addressed (12 fully fixed, 1 flagged for verification).

What Was NOT Changed (Out of Scope)

  1. Table B lookup — Implement text-based Table B values (10×7 matrix)
  2. Table C lookup — Implement text-based Table C values (5×6 matrix); must use 3 inputs (start time, crew count, rest class)
  3. Augmented FTL fix — Remove flat 13h/17h values; replace with Table C lookup (will change calculation results)
  4. §117.25(b) check — Add 30-hr weekly rest validation in 168-hr rolling window
  5. §117.25(d) check — Add trans-theater 56-hr / 3-physiological-nights validation
  6. §117.25(e) display — Show pre-FDP rest gap and sleep opportunity window
  7. §117.25(g) check — Detect deadhead Table B overrun; calculate required post-deadhead rest
  8. §117.19 extension cap — Apply +2-hour cap when FDP is Extended flag is set
  9. §117.19 WOCL warning — Check extension against WOCL (0200–0559)
  10. FDP Types enum fix — Rename Un-Augmented → Augmented and Un-Augmented Reserve → Augmented Reserve

Changes #3 and #10 are breaking changes that could affect existing calculation results and UI labels.
