Hundreds Express Opposition to FAA's PRD Proposal
Industry groups say the electronic Pilot Records Database NPRM leaves many questions unanswered and its extension to corporate operators is unjustified.

The FAA’s Pilot Records Database (PRD) notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) drew hundreds of comments expressing concerns over the expanded electronic requirements and the extended applicability. Released at the end of March, the proposal would require air carriers, fractional operators, air tour operators, and corporate operators to submit information to a new electronic Pilot Records Database and would require commercial operators to review information in that database before hiring pilots.
