FAA Proposes Deleting Old Rules About Expired Pilot Licenses
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Federal Aviation Administration is asking for public comment on removing two sections of its regulations that deal with pilot certificates no longer in use. The proposed changes target 14 CFR 61.7 and 14 CFR 61.11, which cover obsolete certificate types and expired licenses.
Why it matters: This is an administrative cleanup rather than a policy shift. By deleting outdated references, the FAA aims to reduce confusion in its rulebook and save minor amounts of agency time spent maintaining irrelevant regulations. It does not impose new requirements or restrictions on pilots.
Who it affects
- Current pilots holding valid certificates (no change to status)
This is a proposed rule from the Federal Aviation Administration in the Federal Register; check the original document for the comment period and full legal text.
