Nice article promoted in Flight Safety Information of Nov. 6 that I wish sharing with you: https://simpleflying.com/little-known-pilot-rules-guide/.

Summary:

- Pilots must carefully manage their time, especially when facing delays or extended duty periods, to comply with regulations and ensure a smooth operation.

- Fuel management is crucial for pilots, as they need to consider delay fuel, engine warm-up time, and their planned takeoff amount to avoid any complications during the flight.

- Pilots closely monitor their duty time limits and work with ground controllers to expedite their taxi or find alternative routes when nearing their maximum duty time to get passengers to their destinations on time.
