Time is running short for industry stakeholders to comment on proposed changes to pilot-reporting requirements affecting a large segment of the Part 91 community, and many NBAA members. The FAA introduced the 200-page Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has resisted calls from NBAA and others to extend the comment period in consideration of the ongoing crisis. “This is really regulatory overreach at its worst,” said Doug Carr, NBAA’s vice president for regulatory and international affairs. “We have a situation where our community will see no safety benefits as a result of compliance with this program, and the creation of a definition solely for the purpose of satisfying paperwork is not in the best interest of our community.”
In this episode of NBAA Flight Plan, host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
Doug Carr, NBAA Vice President for Regulatory and International Affairs
Brian Koester, CAM, NBAA Director of Flight Operations and Regulations
Jason Herman, CAM, chair of the NBAA Domestic Operations Committee
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
The National Pause for General Aviation Safety is an industry-wide initiative, supported by NBAA, which encourages pilots and operators to take the time to proactively address complacency, communication breakdowns and other potential issues affecting our industry.
Professional development plays a crucial role in advancing a career in business aviation, but it can be difficult for the industry's young professionals to find the time - and finances - to pursue opportunities for growth. However, there are many paths that can yield a valuable "return on you," that are worth seeking out.
