    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.

  • 2025-02181 — Restoring America's Fighting Force
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 8763
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The executive order titled "Restoring America's Fighting Force" aims to remove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Department of Defense and Homeland Security, particularly the Coast Guard. It states that hiring practices should be free from preferences based on race or sex and mandates the abolition of DEI offices. The order also prohibits the promotion of certain ideologies deemed divisive or discriminatory and requires a review of military educational institutions to ensure they align with these principles. Furthermore, the order establishes procedures for implementing these changes and reports on progress while ensuring the changes comply with existing laws and budgets.

    Simple Explanation

    The executive order is about stopping some programs in the military that focus on treating people differently based on their background, and making sure everyone is treated fairly without special rules based on who they are. It's like saying everyone gets the same chance regardless of their skin color or whether they are a boy or a girl.
