Part 107 Recurrent extension?

Walter Schoenknecht:
The FAA has finally formalized extensions for Part 61 and others...

Not to my knowledge.  AFAIK, and as far as AOPA has announced, the only step the FAA has taken is to forego enforcement of medical expiration dates through June 30.  Nothing on 61.56 flight reviews, annual 61.58 PIC checks, 61.57 recent experience, etc.  Have you seen something to the contrary?  If so, please share it.  Here's where you can get the latest official information from the FAA on this subject:

I'm sure you're right... I was skimming the news for Part 107, saw "extension", and turned the medical extensions into something bigger. Frankly, I haven't really been expecting a Recurrent extension, at least not yet; they seem to be kind of lost, trying to maintain strict standards under impossible circumstances.

Again, there is no "extension" of the medical certificate.  The FAA said only they won't enforce that rule for flights made between April 1 and June 30 as long as your medical was valid on March 31.  And, as the FAA and AOPA both said, there may be serious financial risks if your insurance policy requires a current medical.

FWIW, the FAA has taken steps to allow ground personnel, crewmembers and dispatchers to complete recurrent training and and qualifiction activities up to three calendar months after the month that the activity was due to have been completed, for requirements that were due to be completed through may 31, 2020.

The exemptions for certified air carriers under Part 119 and 135 mentioned above don't change Part 61 requirements like those I mentioned.  Those remain unchanged for those of us flying under Part 91.  You'll still need to meet the flight review (or equivalent), annual PIC proficiency check, takeoffs and landings, and approaches/holding/interception and tracking requirements (as applicable) if you're not flying under a commercial operating certificate.

Clear on that. The post was just for information only, as related to recurrent training. We at AOPA have requested and are hoping similar type of extensions will shortly be posted by the FAA.
