According to Flight Instructor limitations, what is the maximum number of contact hours in a 24-hour period?

Fatigue management governs how long a flight instructor can actively teach in the air. In a 24-hour period, a flight instructor may log up to ten hours of contact flight time in instructional flights. This limit helps ensure the instructor stays alert and capable of safely supervising and teaching during maneuvers, decision-making, and overall flight safety. If you need more training beyond that window, you’d schedule it over additional days with appropriate rest and within the regulatory limits. Note this limit covers actual flight instruction with a student; ground or simulator training may not count toward the flight-instruction clock in the same way.
