Summary: The FAA is considering new training requirements for airline pilots sitting in the right seat, but how can this affect business aviation? "Our Members participate in hiring pilots that have worked for the airlines, and have an interest in their qualifications," NBAA Senior Vice President, Operations & Administration Steve Brown says in discussing the issue in this week's edition of the NBAA Flight Plan podcast. A rulemaking committee has been formed to look into increasing co-pilot qualifications and Brown is among nine aviation experts on the panel, which is due to release its findings in September. Listen to the NBAA Flight Plan podcast to learn more about the FAA's consideration of first-officer qualifications, and NBAA's work to represent business aviation.
