Narrative:

At the time of these flts, I thought that no flight time limits were exceeded. After talking to several other crew members, I am now not so sure. I flew the first 3 legs with single crew. I was joined by 1 additional captain and 1 additional flight engineer for the last international leg (for a total of 10:13 hours). If flight time limits were exceeded, which ones were they? How should the trip have been conducted to avoid conflict with FARS.
