Sarah Tamar, a Caravan seaplane pilot for Tailwind Air in New York City, is the 6th annual recipient of the WAI / Martha King Scholarship for Female Flight Instructors.
Prior to winning this year’s Women in Aviation assistance, she worked at an advertising job in an office by New York’s East River, watching float planes come and go. She felt a calling then, saying, “I didn’t know I was meant to fly, I didn’t know I had the potential to become a pilot. I didn’t know flying seaplanes for a living would become my life’s purpose.” All it took to spark the interest was a ride-along in a Cessna 172. The FAA has updated the ACS Working Group with the agency’s plan to publish future updates. The private pilot and commercial pilot Airman Certification Standards were completed years ago, but up to now, no further developments have occurred due to administrative disputes in the publication process. The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE) announced in their November membership newsletter that the wait may finally be over. The FAA has proposed a rule requiring commercial hot-air-balloon pilots to hold a medical
certificate when operating for hire. Similar to other commercial pilots, they would need a second-class medical certificate. Under current regulations, lighter-than-air aircraft pilots do not require the same medical certification process that others do, only required to affirm that they have no medical defect that would make them unable to pilot a free balloon. “Balloon pilots are responsible for the safety of their passengers," FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said.
