Aviation News Talk Podcast

In this episode, Max discusses the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 and the dozens of provisions that may impact GA pilots. Here's are a few of the many points covered: Pilots using BasicMed can fly larger and more capable aircraft, and DPEs can fly under BasicMed. CFI certificates will no longer expire, though CFIs will have to meet recent experience requirements. The FAA has to reduce the aircraft registration backlog and shorten the time to respond to Part 135 carrier applications. The FAA must accelerate remote tower implementation at three airports by December 2024.  If you're getting value from this show, please support the show via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Patreon.
