| FAA Certification Extensions and FMCSA waivers No Longer Available |
As reported in the February 4, 2021 NAAA eNewsletter, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has chosen not to extend SFAR 118 further. The FAA first issued this special regulation to provide relief to airmen and other certificate holders who were having trouble completing recurrency training and recertification requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic made it difficult to meet required biennial flight reviews, medical exams, instrument currency and other regulation-required deadlines. NAAA was heavily involved in the process of obtaining these extensions. The FAA has left open the possibility of regulatory relief in the future but determined it was not needed at this time. All Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration waivers ended Dec. 31, 2020.
