Another FAA delay on Part 107 for March 2021

[BigAl07]

Sorry folks, we just got notification this morning that on Wednesday (3/10), the FAA will publish a new delay on RID, OOP, and the new Recurrent and Initial Remote Pilot (107) procedures.

This is very unfortunate if you need to become 107 current before the end of March. We are trying to see if the FAA will institute the SFAR-118 (COVID relief extension) again. We'll let everyone know if they do.

The new testing/training is pushed out to at least 4/6/21, the new regulations that were to go into effect 3/16 (e.g. OOP, Night Flying) are now pushed out to 4/21/21 (assuming no more delays). Likewise RID items are also pushed out 21 days (e.g. from September 2022 to October 2022, and September 2023 to October 2023). If your currency expires before you can take the new test (slated for 4/6/21) you have the option of taking in person at a test site for a fee, wait until you can take new test (you might have to sit on the bench a few days), or, find a current 107 who can be with you. Note that the above dates are subject to change. Here's the updated Federal Register posting.
