When President Donald Trump in his first days in office made good on a campaign promise to cut red tape by eliminating unnecessary regulations, workers at federal agencies knew they’d suddenly be very busy. Perhaps nowhere was this more true than at the FAA, where the enactment of new rules in the near future would seem to require a top-down review of the Federal Aviation Regulations aimed at combining, rewriting and eliminating rules already on the books.
Trump Executive Order on Regulations Means Potentially Big Changes for the FARs
Key Takeaways:
- President Trump's executive order mandates federal agencies, including the FAA, to significantly cut existing regulations and red tape, requiring a comprehensive review of rules.
- This directive creates uncertainty for new FAA reforms like BasicMed and the Part 23 rewrite, which were themselves designed to reduce regulatory burdens and some were congressionally mandated.
- The Federal Aviation Regulations offer a substantial opportunity for streamlining, as they contain numerous outdated and duplicated rules that the FAA will now be tasked with identifying and eliminating.
