Prevent a sudden rush that exceeds capacity on CFI's, rental planes, airspace, etc?Why would they do that?
That's not their concern.Prevent a sudden rush that exceeds capacity on CFI's, rental planes, airspace, etc?

I thought 90-day currency was just for carrying passengers, not overall.Certain things I would be in favor of extending, 90 day overall currency and IFR currency are not two of them though.. just because you are stuck on the ground does not mean you somehow stay as safe or proficient
It is, my point was that it's not something I would want them to bump out, say, to a hundred and twenty days as a resultI thought 90-day currency was just for carrying passengers, not overall.
un-friend your CFI from FacebookHow do you maintain " social distancing " in a Cessna 150 ?
I have just seen an answer from AvWeb.With all this "shelter in place" that is going around, does anybody know if the FAA is considering extending rules on currency?
http://fsims.faa.gov/Wdocs/AFS-1 Me...ws9XMS4tkepTVJPXGH1Am85ilHxhjQaiqC5m_robDU9E8The FAA has put all its COVID-19-related exemptions, policy deviations and various other pronouncements approved so far on a single webpage to help pilots, operators and maintenance organizations navigate the myriad time and personal-contact dependent regs that govern aviation enterprise.

Items that relate to admin stuff makes total sense, and I agree on some of the medical certs and other stuff... IE, things that are basically paperwork. But I don't agree with the Part 61 currency extensions.. or rather, if they're going to extend it, doesn't that acknowledge that the existing requirements had an insignificant impact on safety and mean they're not really necessary?
It's an extreme example, but isn't it like allowing drunk driving because there aren't enough people to man checkpoints?
If my currency lapses while this is in effect, I should have to go and get current again before I take people or go fly in the clouds. How does a Corona related grounding somehow maintain my proficiency?
Yup! Knocking out 3 takeoffs and landings is not that hard. Now, if you need to fly a hold and 6 approaches hopefully you got a safety pilot friend you can bring alongwhen you get out of the lock down, go get current before hauling pax
Can they suspend ADS-B equipage until the end of the covid crisis?
I'm torn on the IPC thing though.. I get that someone might be artificially prevented from their extra 6 month IFR safety pilot currency stance.. but a bunch of dudes and their safety pilot buddies who are a year out of currency might not be the smartest idea either.. so I vote for leaving IFR currency alone.
Plus one can do the approaches for 6-month IFR on a BATD/AATD solo and still be socially distant (unless the sim is across state/county lines, but that's another story).I'm torn on the IPC thing though..

ADS-B requirement went into effect before this, so what’s there to extend?
So new relief yet on CFI renewal? I usually just swing by the FSDO on my way from one of my airline trips. Now that my plane isn't really flying and the FSDOs are pretty much closed, that's not really an option. Don't mind paying $26 to American Flyers to process it for me, just wondering if they provided relief for CFI renewal.
