Russian Pilots Protesting Mass License Revocations
Rosaviatsiya has revoked hundreds of pilots licenses and could nullify as many as 1,000 more in the near term.

Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) has revoked hundreds of pilots' licenses and could nullify as many as 1,000 more in the near term in a campaign that eventually could see up to a quarter of all Russian pilots lose their flying privileges. The revocations would apply to pilots who received their training from non-governmental flight training centers previously approved by Rosaviatsiya.
