The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is notifying the public about a petition from Ameristar Air Cargo, Inc. This petition seeks an exemption from a specific aviation regulation, allowing them to reduce the mandatory rest hours for flightcrew members. Ameristar argues that their definition of "rest," as per another regulation, sets a higher standard than the current requirement for hours "free from duty." The FAA invites public comments on this petition by April 9, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Ameristar Air Cargo wants to change a rule so their pilots can rest less than usual before flying, and the government is asking people if they think this is okay until April 9, 2025.
