FAA Provides Short-term Relief for Lost Certificates
The temporary authorization would apply for Parts 91K, 135, and 121 crewmembers, lasting 72 hours for flights within the U.S.

In one of its final regulatory acts before the shutdown took effect, the FAA issued a new operations specification (OpSpec)/management specification (MSpec) notice and associated guidance for Parts 91K, 121, or 135 operators to gain temporary relief when an airman or medical certificate is lost, stolen, or damaged. The OpSpec/MSpec A063 notice and Advisory Circular, AC 00-70-Flightcrew Member Certificate Verification Plan, pave the way for operators to develop an approved certificate verification plan that would enable the use of temporary documentation for flight crewmembers who have missing airman or medical certification.
