The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a notice about a petition from Wheels Up Private Jets LLC. The petition seeks exemption from specific Federal Aviation Regulations relating to the qualification and training requirements for check pilots. Wheels Up wants to use qualifications and training met by another certificate holder to fulfill their obligations, which is needed due to a merger or acquisition. Comments on the petition can be submitted until January 6, 2025, through various methods detailed in the notice.
Simple Explanation
A company named Wheels Up wants special permission from the aviation rules so they can use training from another company for their pilots, because they're combining with that company and it makes things easier for them.
