Operative words
"DATES: Effective June 25, 2020, through March 31, 2021." SUMMARY: "This final rule amends the regulatory relief originally provided in the Relief for Certain Persons and Operations during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) final rule. Other than relief for medical certificate duration, the relief in this final rule applies to a new population of airmen and does not extend the relief provided in the original Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)." Body: the FAA extended the grace periods so that a medical certificate expiring in June 2020 "is now valid until August 31, 2020" and one expiring in September 2020 "is now valid until December 31, 2020," and continued the SIC and proficiency-check relief "through September 30, 2020."
