Abstract:
This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) provides regulatory relief to persons who have been unable to comply with certain training, recent experience, testing, and checking requirements due to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Certain pilot schools and aircraft operators will be required to submit operational plans to the FAA if they wish to avail themselves of the relief provided by this SFAR. This relief allows operators to continue to use pilots and other crewmembers in support of essential operations. Additionally, this SFAR provides regulatory relief to certain persons and pilot schools who are unable to meet duration and renewal requirements due to the outbreak.
Emergency Justfication:
The FAA is publishing this SFAR in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SFAR supports the FAA's mission of facilitating safe and efficient use of the national airspace system (NAS). To do so under current conditions requires certain immediate modifications, such as reduction or elimination of in-person meetings, testing, and training. This unforeseen pandemic compels the FAA to seek emergency clearance, given the importance of enabling users of the NAS without violating provisions of 14 CFR. The accommodations provided in the SFAR are necessary to avoid endangering public health. The FAA requests approval concurrent with the public display of the SFAR at the Federal Register.
