DOT Deputy Secretary Polly Trottenberg has been selected to serve as acting FAA administrator, replacing the eminently qualified Billy Nolen, who announced his intention to step down earlier this year.
Kathryn “Katie” Thomson will serve as the FAA’s deputy administrator, replacing Brad Mims, who is assuming a new, senior role at the DOT as head of the agency’s Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization. In the first week of June, low visibility instantiated by smoke from wildfires in the Canadian Province of Quebec occasioned flight delays, cancellations, and ground stops at New York’s LaGuardia (LGA) and Kennedy (JFK) International Airports, as well as New Jersey’s Newark Liberty (EWR) airport. The FAA has published a preview of its long-awaited Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) addressing operational and airman qualification requirements for powered-lift aircraft.
