FAA предложила освободить военных пилотов от требования медсправки третьего класса

The FAA has proposed a rule to exempt military pilot trainees from the requirement to hold an FAA third-class medical certificate, provided they already meet U.S. military pilot medical examination standards.  “FAA has determined that U.S. military pilot medical examinations meet or exceed the level of safety established by FAA third-class medical certificate standards. Therefore, it is redundant to require military pilot trainees to meet both standards. The proposed rule would support streamlining the U.S. military use of civilian flight schools. The intended effects are to reduce administrative burdens and costs while maintaining safety standards,” the agency says. The EAA has announced six inductees for its 2026 Sport Aviation Halls of Fame class, recognizing individuals whose work has helped define distinct corners of recreational aviation. The inductees will be honored November 11th in the Eagle Hangar of the EAA Aviation Museum. The recognition reflects the breadth of EAA’s community, where innovation, craftsmanship, competition, preservation, and the freedom to fly remain closely connected. Business aviation salaries continue to increase, in some cases by nearly 7% in certain categories, such as personnel who manage, fly, repair and schedule these aircraft. That was just one of the main findings of the 2026 NBAA Compensation Survey, which annually provides a comprehensive review of aviation department personnel salaries and benefits to help member companies better evaluate their own flight departments.
