The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a notice about a petition from Troy Capasso seeking an exemption from certain Federal Aviation Regulations. The petitioner is requesting that flight time gained as a U.S. Armed Forces Instructor Weapons Systems officer on F-15 Aircraft be considered equivalent to flight engineer time. This would help meet the requirements needed for qualifying as an airline transport pilot. Comments on this petition are open and must be submitted by April 8, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Troy Capasso is asking for special permission to count his job as a teacher on military planes like the F-15 as the same as another important job, so he can become a big airplane pilot. People can say what they think about this until April 8, 2025.
