The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a rule that would allow certain military pilot trainees to fly without needing an FAA third-class medical certificate. Currently, these trainees must meet both military medical standards and civilian FAA medical standards.
Why it matters: This is a minor administrative change designed to remove a redundant step in the pilot training process.
Who it affects
- U.S. military pilot trainees
This is a proposed rule from the FAA; readers should consult the Federal Register for full details before relying on this information.
