✈️FAA Announces New Experimental Aircraft Pilot Authorization Program

This notice informs operators of certain experimental aircraft of a new program that enables certain pilots to receive authorization to act as pilot in command (PIC) of certain experimental aircraft by completing aircraft-specific ground and flight training without taking a practical test. The FAA implements this program in accordance with section 806 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. While the Experimental Aircraft All Makes and Models Program is effective upon the date of this notice, FAA seeks comments on the implementing guidance for future consideration.
