Regulatory Shift Affects Training Providers and Business Aviation
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ended its policy of granting training-provider exemptions for single-pilot operation of certain Cessna Citation CE-500-series aircraft, effective September 29, 2026. This change affects specialized training and endorsement pathways previously offered under 14 CFR Parts 61, 141, and 142. The move is seen as a regulatory shift that will impact training providers and business aviation operators. This development was reported by afm.aero - Pilot Training Industry Insights.
