The Window of Circadian Low (WOCL) is the period between 02:00 hours and 05:59 hours.
Within a band of three time zones, the WOCL refers to the gateway time. Beyond these three time zones, the WOCL refers to gateway time for the first 48 hours after departure from the gateway time zone, and to local time thereafter.
If 2 consecutive WOCL's in a row, Minimum rest becomes 36 hours with 2 local nights off.
If 3 non-consecutive WOCL's in a tour, Minimum rest becomes 36 hours with 2 local nights off after the 2nd WOCL.
