• FAA considers new proposals for single-pilot Citation operations.
• Enhanced training and aircraft modifications may be required.
• Industry groups dispute FAA's safety data and seek collaborative solutions.
• Supplemental Type Certificates could be a potential path forward.

The FAA's openness to new proposals may indicate a willingness to balance safety concerns with industry needs. Enhanced training and aircraft modifications could potentially restore single-pilot operations for certain Citation jets, which may benefit operators and manufacturers. However, the agency's emphasis on achieving an equivalent level of safety suggests that any changes will be subject to rigorous evaluation.
