FAA Clarifies Check Pilot Medical Requirements
FAA has issued an NPRM to clarify that medical certificates are not required for check pilots and instructors at commercial operations.

The FAA has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove regulatory inconsistencies that have caused reported misunderstandings over the fact that medical certificates are not required for check pilots and instructors at commercial operations who perform their functions in aircraft, as long as they are not serving as part of a required flight crew. “This proposed change would increase the number of experienced pilots who would be able to qualify as Part 135 check pilots on aircraft,” the agency said.
