with key stakeholders in the NEC project, including the NBAA, during the past several months to outline milestones and ensure operators are aware of these changes beforehand. Flight planning services used by business aircraft operators have also been included to “make sure they have time to make the necessary alterations to aeronautical charts prior to the targeted implementation dates.”
“The FAA hopes to improve routing and decrease operational complexity through the nation’s busiest airspace,” Stellings said. “This may be the biggest route change in 50 years; the Eastern Seaboard is the most congested airspace in the country, and it’s all being redone.”
FAA Provides Easy-to-Understand Resource for OTC Meds
The FAA has published a new resource for pilots pertaining to over-the-counter (OTC) medications and being in the middle of cold and flu season, it couldn’t be timelier.
The paper titled “What Over-the-Counter (OTC) medications can I take and still be safe to fly?” aids pilots in deciding if they are fit to fly in reference to regulation 14 CFR 61.53, which prohibits flight with known medical deficiency. It includes questions to ask yourself before each flight, what to look for when choosing an OTC
medication, a list of “NO GO” medications as well as those that are safe to take for various ailments, an example of how long to wait before you fly if you did take one of the NO GO meds, and other valuable information.
