Continued exemptions for aircrew
The ongoing situation with COVID-19 means that it is still difficult for aircrew to comply with all the requirements for training, testing and checking requirements. As licences are issued by national competent authorities (NCAs) and not directly by EASA has published guidelines to help these authorities to extend the exemption regime for pilots, where needed, depending on the local situation.
Because the situation with COVID-19 is different in every country, the application of exemptions is managed at national level. The overall goal is to maintain the highest level of safety while allowing for some flexibility, where the virus makes certain activities impossible to carry out.
If you are a pilot, you should contact your own authority to find out the specific situation that applies to you.
Continued exemptions for air operations
Similarly operators face significant issues when complying with crew training and testing requirements. You can access the EASA guidelines for NAAs with regards to Air Operations on the EASA Website.
If you are a responsible for an aviation organisation and have any questions on this subject, you should contact your own authority to find out the specific situation that applies to you.
