Have questions about flying during the pandemic?

By General Aviation News Staff · May 5, 2020 ·

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has posted a webinar featuring the association’s Government Affairs team discussing “practical considerations” for pilots during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The informational session, touted as “what you need to know before you takeoff during the COVID-19 pandemic,” is available at AOPA.org. The presentation is about 25 minutes long.

To supplement the webinar, AOPA also has created flow charts to help pilots determine if the provisions in new Special Federal Aviation Regulation released by the FAA April 29, 2020, apply to them.

  • 1st, 2nd, or 3rd class medical examinations 
  • Knowledge tests for Part 61 pilot certificates and ratings 
  • CFI certificate validity and renewal
  • Flight review
  • Recent instrument flight experience 
  • Do the SFAR’s provisions concerning flight reviews and instrument experience requirements apply to me?
  • Small unmanned aircraft systems (Part 107 commercial operations)
