Narrative:

I work for an airline which has us do a monthly hour tracking form. Unfortunately, the month ended in the middle of a 7 day flight period. I started a new form but made a mistake counting back days between the present and previous month's form. I, therefore, left one day off and wound up flying 45 mins over the maximum allowed for a 7 day period. I did not discover this until I completed the form for that period. The company schedulers gave me no indication I was approaching my limit.

Narrative: I WORK FOR AN AIRLINE WHICH HAS US DO A MONTHLY HR TRACKING FORM. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MONTH ENDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 7 DAY FLT PERIOD. I STARTED A NEW FORM BUT MADE A MISTAKE COUNTING BACK DAYS BTWN THE PRESENT AND PREVIOUS MONTH'S FORM. I, THEREFORE, LEFT ONE DAY OFF AND WOUND UP FLYING 45 MINS OVER THE MAX ALLOWED FOR A 7 DAY PERIOD. I DID NOT DISCOVER THIS UNTIL I COMPLETED THE FORM FOR THAT PERIOD. THE COMPANY SCHEDULERS GAVE ME NO INDICATION I WAS APCHING MY LIMIT.
