NBAA and Citation Jet Pilots ask FAA to postpone end of single‑pilot exemptions
Based on · First reported
Sources
- The National Business Aviation Association and Citation Jet Pilots have requested that the FAA delay the rescission of certain Cessna Citation single‑pilot exemptions by at least 90 days, after the FAA’s policy to end those exemptions took effect on September 29.
- The policy applies to Citation 500, 550, S550 and 560 models that were originally certificated for two‑pilot operations, meaning pilots who previously received single‑pilot endorsements through the affected exemption holders can no longer rely on those endorsements to fly alone; the FAA has not released the accident data underlying the decision, and 13 of the 14 Part 61 exemption holders had their exemptions rescinded or extension requests denied.
