I’m actually not sure what the exact legality for this situation would be since it’s split duty, but deadhead at the end of the duty period is not FDP. It is duty only.

Deadhead at the beginning of a duty period, if it is followed by flights you actually fly, IS part of FDP (since it affects your rest prior to actually flying).

If you’re not actually flying after a deadhead, you can legally deadhead forever with no rest, and it’s not FDP, just duty. You only need rest before you can fly another flight yourself.

So because it’s split duty, that makes it a bit more complex, but I suspect that APDL may be correct since it’s not including the deadhead as FDP at all.

Actually, from a strictly legal standpoint, it may not really be split duty at all. Your company may be treating it as a split duty assignment, but as far as I know, it could be operated as a regular duty assignment since rest is not required prior to a deadhead only.
