What is required of pilots regarding duty reporting for off-gate/remote flights?

For off-gate or remote flights, pilots are required to provide a notice of 1.5 hours before the scheduled flight departure. This time frame allows for adequate preparation, ensuring that all necessary reviews, briefings, and coordination with ground support can be effectively completed.

It is critical for pilots to adhere to this notification period as it helps maintain operational efficiency and safety, particularly when operations involve remote locations that may require additional arrangements. The requirement to report within this specific time frame is established to support seamless transitions from gate to air, ensuring that all pre-flight protocols are followed without unnecessary delays or confusion.
