1. You must be realistic in your planning.

2. There is absolutely NO obligation to fly beyond 14. If you realize you're going to exceed 14, you can leave the crew at the hospital and fly back to base within 14 hours. The oncoming pilot will go back to pick up the crew. 

3. Our RAD and the AMC POI instructed us pilots "skids down by 14" so I'm following that.
