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

REST AFTER ROTATIONS WITH THREE OR MORE FLIGHT [DUTY](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/duty) PERIODS

For a [rotation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/rotation) with three or more FDPs, the greatest time zone difference from the original [reference time](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/reference-time) should be used to determine the minimum number of local nights of rest to compensate for time zone differences. If such a rotation includes time zones crossings in both directions, the calculation is based on the highest number of time zones crossed in any one FDP during the rotation.
