FAA Grants New Extension on Crew Training and Checks
The FAA's move to approve a new extension on existing crew training and checking will help charter pilots and operations.

The FAA has approved a request made by NATA to grant an extension to exemptions involving certain crew training and checking requirements as the Covid pandemic continues to play havoc with travel and scheduling. The two exemptions, originally granted in late March and previously extended in May, are available to all Part 119 certificated carriers operating under Part 135 and extend the deadlines for those coming due during this period.
