  • 2021-02017 — Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Hearing
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 7772
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has decided to exempt 20 individuals from the hearing requirement to drive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce. This exemption means that people who are hard of hearing or deaf can legally drive CMVs across state lines until January 22, 2023, provided they meet specific conditions, such as reporting crashes and keeping a copy of the exemption while driving. The decision was based on an assessment that shows these drivers can maintain a safety level equivalent to or greater than that of drivers without such exemptions.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is allowing 20 people who can't hear well to drive big trucks on highways between states, because they've shown they can do it safely just like other truck drivers.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published a notice regarding a petition from 1st Franklin Financial Corp. seeking an exemption from certain aviation regulations. The petition requests permission for their pilots to log second-in-command flight time in an aircraft that typically requires only one pilot. This exemption would allow the pilots to qualify as pilot-in-command for a specific aircraft model, the King Air 350, under certain operating conditions. The FAA is inviting the public to comment on this petition by April 21, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    1st Franklin Financial Corp. asked the people in charge of airplanes, the FAA, if their pilots can practice being the helper pilot (even when not needed) to get better and become main pilots on a plane called the King Air 350. The FAA wants to know what everyone thinks about this idea by April 21, 2025.
