Groups Ask FAA To Pause Single-pilot Exemption Decision
Associations say it makes no sense to punish compliant pilots

Following the FAA’s sudden decision to rescind all single-pilot exemptions for certain legacy Cessna Citation twinjets, AOPA, NBAA, and the Citation Jet Pilots Association are asking the agency to pause the decision. The exemptions allowed operation of Part 25-certified CE-500s with a single pilot instead of the two pilots normally required in Part 25 jets.

The exemptions applied to Model 500—Citation and Citation I; Model 550—Citation II; Model S550—Citation S/II; Model 552—Navy T-47A; Model 560—Citation V and Citation Ultra; Model 550—Bravo; Model 560—Encore; and Model 560—Encore+.
