NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen appealed to lawmakers to update Part 135 pilot rest and duty time regulations as part of the overarching FAA reauthorization bill. Specifically, Bolen supported the elimination of “tail-end ferries” and updated recordkeeping that would more accurately reflect rest and duty-time practices.

Lawmakers are expected to release a comprehensive aviation package in upcoming weeks that would reauthorize the FAA’s operating authority and address myriad other aviation issues. Congress faces a September 30 deadline to complete work on the bill.
