What is Standby?

This is usually pre-notified and is a period of time in which a crew member is to be available to fly, position or doing any other duty without intervening the rest period.

Standby is the on-call readiness window for crew. It’s a pre-notified period when a crew member must remain available to fly, reposition, or perform any duty, and they must be ready to report without an intervening rest period once called. This keeps flexibility in operations, letting flights be covered quickly when needed.

It isn’t a rest period, so it doesn’t imply taking time off to recover. It also isn’t simply the time spent on the aircraft, nor the time from landing to boarding. Standby is about being available and ready to take duty if required.
