The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published a notice summarizing a petition from Dynamic Ventures Inc. seeking exemptions from certain Federal Aviation Regulations. The company wants their pilots, required by NASA to act as second-in-command (SIC) in specific public aircraft operations, to log SIC flight time even if the aircraft type doesn't require an SIC. They also want to retroactively count the SIC time on past flights where an SIC wasn't mandated by aircraft type or regulations. The public can submit comments on the petition by April 8, 2025, through various methods outlined by the FAA.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is thinking about giving a company called Dynamic Ventures Inc. special permission that would let their pilots count more flying time even when they aren't officially needed in some flights. People can say what they think about this idea until April 8, 2025.
