This SAFO cancels and replaces SAFO 20003 and provides updated interim occupational
health and safety guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for air carriers and crewmembers regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19). The CDC and FAA are providing this additional occupational health and safety guidance
for air carriers and their crews to reduce crewmembers’ risk of exposure to COVID-19 and decrease
the risk of transmission of COVID-19 on board aircraft and through air trave

This is the first in a series of notices that introduce and provide
guidance for standardized curricula available for use by Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 135 operators when delivered by 14 CFR part 142 training centers.
The guidance establishes new processes that significantly improve safety and administrative
efficiencies for industry and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

This AC outlines the scope and recommended content for airworthiness agreements between a certificate holder (CH) and its contract maintenance providers (CMP). It explains the necessity to interject specific requirements into an airworthiness agreement to ensure the CH fully follows the
requirements imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). The CH
has the primary responsibility for the airworthiness of its aircraft and must ensure the
proper controls are in place to assess, qualify, and authorize work performed for it by
other persons regardless of whether a certificated or noncertificated person performs the
work.

ON June 25, 2020, the FAA amended SFAR 118 providing limited additional time.,

On May 18, 2020 the FAA supplemented the COVID SFAR with the publication of the FAQ document.

This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) was published on May 4 2020 and provides regulatory relief to persons who have been unable to comply with certain training, recent experience, testing, and checking requirements due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) outbreak. This relief allows operators to continue to use pilots and other crewmembers in support of essential operations during  his period. Additionally, this SFAR provides regulatory relief to certain persons and pilot schools unable to meet duration and renewal requirements due to the outbreak. This rule also allows certain air carriers and operators to fly temporary overflow aircraft, a need resulting from the outbreak, to a point of storage pursuant to a special flight permit with a continuing authorization.

This SAFO provides information and recommendations to operators that hold certificates to
conduct operations under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR) part 121. The information and
recommendations address considerations when performing safety risk assessments prior to moving cargo
in airplanes configured with passenger cabins, in lower cargo compartments, and in the passenger cabin
(without passengers onboard).

This SAFO provides information and recommendations to air carriers, aircraft operators and all
pilots regarding the potential effects of parking overflow aircraft in excess of airport capacity.
