For airport/standby reserve, all time spent in part of the flightcrew member's flight duty period.
airport/standby reserve time is
"Airport/standby reserve" means a defined duty period during which a flightcrew
member is required by a certificate holder to be at an airport for a possible
assignment. A flight duty period includes the duties performed by the flightcrew
member on behalf of the certificate holder that occur before a flight segment or
between flight segments without a required intervening rest period. Examples of
tasks that are part of the flight duty period include deadhead transportation, training
conducted in an aircraft or flight simulator, and airport/standby reserve, if the above
tasks occur before a flight segment or between flight segments without an
intervening required rest period.
