Notice to proposed rule making

[Tom-D]

Know any military personnel that this may help?


SUMMARY: The FAA is replacing Special
Federal Aviation Regulation 100–1
(SFAR 100–1), with SFAR 100–2 that
continues to allow Flight Standards
District Offices (FSDOs) to accept
expired flight instructor certificates and
inspection authorizations for renewals
from U.S. military and civilian
personnel (U.S. personnel) who are
assigned outside the United States in
support of U.S. Armed Forces
operations. SFAR 100–2 also continues
to allow FSDOs to accept expired
airman written test reports for certain
practical tests from U.S. personnel who
are assigned outside the United States in
support of U.S. Armed Forces
operations. This action is necessary to
avoid penalizing U.S. personnel who are
unable to meet the regulatory time
limits of their flight instructor
certificate, inspection authorization, or
airman written test report because they
are serving outside the United States in
support of U.S. Armed Forces
operations. The effect of this action is to
give U.S. personnel who are assigned
outside the United States in support of
U.S. Armed Forces operations extra time
to meet certain eligibility requirements
in the current rules.
DATES: This final rule is effective June
20, 2010.

From a safety standpoint, it would seem to make more sense to allow them a free retake. The proposal seems to suggest that there is no safety reason for the 2 year expiration. If that's the case, do away with it altogether.
