The FAA, working rapidly to address an array of concerns concerning meeting a number of requirements and deadlines during the Covid-19 crisis, is releasing an exemption that extends the duration of expiring medicals until June 30 for pilots who conduct Part 135 operations outside the U.S. The exemption, issued at the request of the National Air Transportation Association, comes as the agency also is releasing a broader policy statement that it will not issue enforcement for lapsed medicals of persons serving as a “required pilot flight crewmember" between now and June 30.
