NBAA, AOPA Member Pilots Weigh in on Changes to Pilot Records Database.

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) recently conducted a survey to generate input from their member pilots in response to an FAA notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) introducing a new electronic Pilot Records Database (PRD) that would involve certain Part 91 operators. Based on the comments received, the survey results indicate pilots have significant concerns over the potential burden of the FAA’s proposed rule change.

The proposed rule would require owners and/or operators with two or more aircraft that require a type rating and who employ pilots to enter information about their pilots’ currency and backgrounds in the database, for use by air carriers and other entities during the vetting of prospective hires. The intent of the proposed change is to improve safety by improving the hiring process for certain aircraft operators, most of which are not currently subject to reporting requirements outlined in the NPRM.

The survey targeted pilots holding an air transport pilot certificate to gauge the industry’s perception of the PRD, and more than 1,200 pilots from NBAA and AOPA responded. “All survey respondents expressed skepticism about the proposed PRD, particularly in terms of time necessary to comply and burdens of new requirements. For example, more than half of the respondents with two or more type-rated aircraft are against including check airman comments in the PRD. Only 20 percent of respondents believe the comments should be included in the PRD,” NBAA said.

“The survey results are clear—our members do not believe the proposed electronic Pilot Records Database will significantly improve hiring processes or safety,” said Brian Koester, CAM, NBAA’s director of flight operations and regulations. “NBAA and AOPA appreciate the robust response to this survey and will use the survey results to guide discussions with regulators.” NBAA added that since the vast majority of pilots responding to the survey said they would be required to log activity that may be required in the FAA PRD up to several times per day, some pilots estimated it could take “over 18 hours per month” to maintain records that may be required by the new PRD.

NBAA, AOPA Member Pilots Weigh in on Changes to Pilot Records Database A survey of 1,200 NBAA and AOPA pilots with commercial ATP (airline transport pilot) ratings found that 80 percent feel that proposed changes to FAA’s Pilot Records Database should not be implemented.

Domestic Flight Fare Bands Unchanged Till February, More Flights To Be Allowed Soon.

Fare bands for domestic flights have been extended and kept unchanged till February 24, 2021, Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a press release. Along with this, the ministry also announced that more flights would be allowed in the coming days based on passenger traffic. Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had announced seven fare bands for domestic flights after Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri called for a cap on the domestic airfare. These fare bands came into force with effect from May 21, 2020. The seven fare bands are time-based. The first band has flights that are operated under 40 minutes duration. The rest of the fare bands are applicable on 40-60 minutes, 60-90 minutes, 90-120 minutes, 120-150 minutes, 150-180 minutes, and 180-210 minutes of flight durations.

According to the Civil Aviation Ministry, the daily passenger air traffic reached 2.05 lakh on November 1, 2020. When domestic aviation services resumed in May 2020, the airlines were allowed to fly up to 33 per cent of their normal capacity. The average daily traffic during that time was about 30,000. This cap was enhanced to 45 per cent with effect from June 26, 2020. The cap was further relaxed to 60 per cent with effect from September 2, 2020. At present, the airlines can operate up to 60 per cent of their capacity.
