Description
In June, the FAA published regulations establishing the Pilot Records Database (PRD) to replace current airman vetting regulations. The regulations establish transition steps from the current system to the PRD. The first of these incremental PRD deadlines for air carriers, including all Part 135 operators, is Sept. 8, 2021. By that date, every operator is required to designate a Responsible Person (RP) and apply for PRD access. The RP must be a person serving in a required management position (i.e., chief pilot, director of operations, director of maintenance). For single pilot operators, the named pilot will be the RP.
