Mandatory Off Time (MOT) is shown on the dispatch release next to the pilot's name. This time displays:

• A. The time by which the most restrictive pilot must be airborne
• B. The scheduled takeoff time
• C. The time allowed for rest following the trip
• D. The estimated flight duration

Answer: (C)

Mandatory Off Time is the mandated rest period after completing a trip, used to manage crew fatigue. The time shown on the dispatch release beside the pilot’s name is the deadline by which the pilot must be off duty and not scheduled for another duty until that rest period is satisfied. It’s about ensuring the required rest is completed before the next flight, not about when the next takeoff occurs, how long the flight is expected to take, or the moment the pilot must be airborne. For example, if a trip ends late in the evening and the MOT deadline is early morning, the pilot must be off duty and unable to report for duty again until that MOT window has passed.
