What is the time spent between flights at a city other than a crewmember's home base?

• A. Layover
• B. Non-stop Flight
• C. Deadhead
• D. Ferry

Answer: (A)

Layover is the period a flight crew spends in a city between flight legs, and it occurs outside the crewmember’s home base. This distinguishes it from a non-stop flight, which has no intermediate stop, and from deadhead travel, where a crew member is riding as a passenger to reposition for a new assignment, and from ferry flights, which move the aircraft itself—often with no revenue service. So the described time spent in another city between legs of a trip is a layover, the waiting/rest period between duties in a city away from home base.
