Flight standards designee oversight and recurrent training requirements
This memorandum provides guidance on how Flight Standards (FS) personnel can deviate from the provisions contained within FAA Orders 8000.95, 8100.15, 8900.1 and 8900.2. This memorandum also extends the recurrent training due dates for those designees and Flight Standards Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) unit members that are unable to attend in-person recurrent training courses. The deviations addressed by this memorandum are to ensure compliance with U.S. Government and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines taken to limit the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
