Narrative:
While administering IOE to student so, in accordance with far 121.434, we exceeded 8 hours of flying within a 24 hour period. On aug/thu/00, we flew from bro to day continuing on to rdu and mco. At day, we had a block turn-back prior to continuing to rdu. The duty day started at XA40Z and ended at XN35 with a total block time of 6 hours 3 mins. On aug/fri/00, we flew from mco to rdu continuing to day. At day, I requested and received permission to trade trips to complete all required training, ie, changing to a different series of the same type aircraft. Due to a miscalculation of times we departed for den not realizing that we were going to exceed 8 flight hours in a 24 hour period. Duty time started at XA47 and ended at XL10 with a total block time of 5 hours 45 mins. On aug/sat/00, I administered to the student an initial flight engineer line check from den to day. Duty time started at XA00 and ended at XD01 with a total block time of 2 hours 31 mins. Upon arrival at day, I pulled up the computer time track to confirm all flight times for the training period. While confirming the times with crew scheduling it was discovered that we had exceeded 8 hours of flight time in a 24 hour period on aug/thu/00 and aug/fri/00 and had not doubled our rest period in den -- which also made the return trip den to day illegal, invalidating the initial flight engineer line check. After confirming the time discrepancy with the flight manager and crew scheduling, the student and I were relieved of all duties and the chief pilot was advised of the problem.

Title: DC8 IOE CHK AIRMAN AND SO EXCEEDED 8 IN 24.
Narrative: WHILE ADMINISTERING IOE TO STUDENT SO, IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 121.434, WE EXCEEDED 8 HRS OF FLYING WITHIN A 24 HR PERIOD. ON AUG/THU/00, WE FLEW FROM BRO TO DAY CONTINUING ON TO RDU AND MCO. AT DAY, WE HAD A BLOCK TURN-BACK PRIOR TO CONTINUING TO RDU. THE DUTY DAY STARTED AT XA40Z AND ENDED AT XN35 WITH A TOTAL BLOCK TIME OF 6 HRS 3 MINS. ON AUG/FRI/00, WE FLEW FROM MCO TO RDU CONTINUING TO DAY. AT DAY, I REQUESTED AND RECEIVED PERMISSION TO TRADE TRIPS TO COMPLETE ALL REQUIRED TRAINING, IE, CHANGING TO A DIFFERENT SERIES OF THE SAME TYPE ACFT. DUE TO A MISCALCULATION OF TIMES WE DEPARTED FOR DEN NOT REALIZING THAT WE WERE GOING TO EXCEED 8 FLT HRS IN A 24 HR PERIOD. DUTY TIME STARTED AT XA47 AND ENDED AT XL10 WITH A TOTAL BLOCK TIME OF 5 HRS 45 MINS. ON AUG/SAT/00, I ADMINISTERED TO THE STUDENT AN INITIAL FE LINE CHK FROM DEN TO DAY. DUTY TIME STARTED AT XA00 AND ENDED AT XD01 WITH A TOTAL BLOCK TIME OF 2 HRS 31 MINS. UPON ARR AT DAY, I PULLED UP THE COMPUTER TIME TRACK TO CONFIRM ALL FLT TIMES FOR THE TRAINING PERIOD. WHILE CONFIRMING THE TIMES WITH CREW SCHEDULING IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT WE HAD EXCEEDED 8 HRS OF FLT TIME IN A 24 HR PERIOD ON AUG/THU/00 AND AUG/FRI/00 AND HAD NOT DOUBLED OUR REST PERIOD IN DEN -- WHICH ALSO MADE THE RETURN TRIP DEN TO DAY ILLEGAL, INVALIDATING THE INITIAL FE LINE CHK. AFTER CONFIRMING THE TIME DISCREPANCY WITH THE FLT MGR AND CREW SCHEDULING, THE STUDENT AND I WERE RELIEVED OF ALL DUTIES AND THE CHIEF PLT WAS ADVISED OF THE PROB.
