Nimbl hosted a webinar yesterday explaining the FAA’s improved process for letters of authorization (LOA) that allows Part 91 operators to receive approvals before aircraft delivery, eliminating months-long delays under the traditional system. The streamlined process, implemented in 2023 through a joint FAA-industry effort, enables operators to apply for multiple LOAs with a single application using statements of compliance covering aircraft capability, training, and procedures.

“This is one of those where we’re all in the same boat…just looking at doing the same work, but in a smarter way, more effectively and efficiently, using government and industry resources,” GAMA v-p of operations and safety Jens Hennig said during the webinar.
