BE40 CAPT REVIEWS REASONS FOR VNY DEP CLRNC VIOLATION DURING A 20 HR DUTY DAY.

Narrative

AT OUR COMPANY; PLTS ARE ON DUTY FOR ALL 24 HRS ON A 'DAY ON.' I WAS CALLED FOR THIS TRIP IN THE EVENING AND INFORMED I WOULD NEED TO DRIVE TO ANOTHER BASE 1 1/2 HRS AWAY TO PICK UP ANOTHER ACFT. I WOULD BE FLYING WITH A BRAND NEW COPLT FROM CCR TO SDL TO VNY TO CCR. WE TOOK A LENGTHY DELAY IN VNY WAITING FOR THE PAX'S TRANSPORTATION. EARLY MORNING; WE FINALLY DEPARTED. IT WAS THE COPLT'S LEG AND WE DID A QUICK BRIEFING OF THE DEP. THIS DEP INCLUDED AN ALT RESTR AND A FAIRLY PROMPT R TURN. ON THE CLBOUT; HE CLBED THROUGH THE ALT RESTR AND MISSED THE TURN. HE APPEARED TO BE HAVING DIFFICULTY INTERPRETING WHAT WAS SELECTED ON HIS FLT DIRECTOR. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE THAT WE HAD BOTH BEEN UP FOR 20+ HRS (AS WE DO NOT HAVE DESIGNATED REST PERIODS LIKE AIRLINES) AND THE COPLT WAS NEW TO THE ACFT; AND I SHOULD HAVE CONDUCTED A MORE THOROUGH BRIEFING TO MAKE SURE HE WAS CLR ON WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. AS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTIONS; I'M CURRENTLY ON A SCHEDULING COMMITTEE THAT IS TRYING TO WORK ON ASSIGNING REST PERIODS (ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT SHOULD BE AN FAA REQUIREMENT FOR 135 OPS AS WELL). ADDITIONALLY; WE'RE TRYING TO STANDARDIZE PROCS FOR OUR PLTS; SO THAT IT'S A LITTLE MORE CLR WHAT IS EXPECTED OF EACH PLT IN OPS. FINALLY; YOU CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT TAKING YOUR TIME IS IN AN ACFT; EVEN WHEN IT'S LATE; YOU HAVE A LONG DRIVE AHEAD; AND YOU WANT TO GET HOME; TO MAKE A THOROUGH AND COMPLETE BRIEFING.
