April 7, 2020
On March 26, 2020, the FAA also granted an exemption to Part 135 operators pertaining to the time-frames for completing recurrent training and qualification requirements for ground personnel and crew-members, and is available here. The exempted requirements include training, testing, checking, evaluation, recency, and observation activities.
Among other requirements, this exemption applies only to part 119 certificate holders who have been granted authorization by their assigned principal operations inspector in operations specification A005. The exemption applies only to crew-members and ground personnel who are required to complete recurrent training, testing, checking, recency, or observation through May 31, 2020. Any part 119 certificate holder requesting to use this exemption must provide a plan to its assigned principal operations inspector. Finally, certificate holders may operate outside of the United States under this exemption, unless otherwise prohibited by a foreign country.
