FAA Extends Medical, Training Relief
The FAA extended SFAR to provide up to three months on certain deadlines surrounding medical, training, and testing requirements.

The FAA yesterday released an extension to a special federal aviation regulation (SFAR) to provide up to three months on certain deadlines surrounding medical, training, and testing requirements. SFAR 118 originally was issued on April 29 at the request of industry groups concerned that airmen would be unable to meet deadlines amid the travel restrictions, operational restrictions, and general health concerns surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.
