Aviation Groups Question Sudden Move Affecting Legacy Citation Jets
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the Citation Jet Pilots (CJP) association are questioning the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) sudden decision to rescind all single-pilot exemptions for legacy Cessna Citation aircraft. The FAA cited widespread non-compliance and safety concerns, including a recent surge in incidents involving older Citation jets. The decision is expected to be published in the Federal Register and will take effect immediately, prompting concerns from the aviation community. The move was reported by an unknown source.
