On May 29th<\/sup> the Federal Aviation Administration\ngranted the National Air Transportation Association\u2019s (NATA) request for an\nextension to exemptions regarding certain crew training and checking\nrequirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two exemptions, available to all Part 119 certificated carriers operating under Part 135, were initially granted to NATA in late March, with Exemption No. 18509 A extended until 07\/31\/2020 and Exemption No. 18510 A extended until 10\/31\/2020. Operators that submitted a Letter of Intent prior to May 29, 2020, in accordance with the original issuance of this exemption have met the requirement of Condition and Limitation No. 1 and do not have to submit another letter. Also, operators will be required to update the safety risk assessment or safety analysis and corresponding risk mitigations. Every Part 135 operator should obtain and carefully review these exemptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exemption No. 18509A<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulations addressed: \u00c2\u00a7\u00c2\u00a7 135.293(b), 135.295(e) and (g), 135.297(c)(1)(i) and (ii), 135.331(c)(3), (5), and (7), 135.347(a), and 135.351(b)(2) and (c) Provides alternative methods to conduct certain required crewmember emergency procedures during recurrent and upgrade training, testing, and checking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exemption No. 18510A<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulations addressed: \u00c2\u00a7\u00c2\u00a7 135.245(c), 135.247(a),\n135.301(a), 135.323(b), 135.337(g), 135.338(g), 135.339(b), 135.340(b), and\n135.505(d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exemptions provide additional time for completion of\nrecurrent training and qualification activities of up to three calendar months\nafter the month that the activity was due to have been completed. As an\nexample, the inclusion of training due through July 31, 2020 means that, for a\ncrewmember who was due to complete recurrent training in July as to a\nrequirement that already allowed for one grace month, the original grace month\nis August. With this two-month extension, the crewmember\u2019s grace months are\nAugust, September, and October. If the crewmember completes the training in\nAugust-October, the crewmember will be considered to have completed it in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NATA\u2019s continued engagement with the FAA is crucial as\nrestrictions are lifted and the country begins a gradual return to operations.\nWe are grateful the FAA understands the needs of the industry in ensuring\naccess to air transportation remains available and the timeline required to\naddress the currency matters of operators,\u201d stated NATA Vice President of\nRegulatory Affairs John McGraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
