NBAA thanked a key U.S. House of Representatives panel for approving legislation that would compel the FAA to follow established rulemaking processes before implementing a new requirement that some pilots be screened for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prior to receiving a medical certificate. The legislation, H.R. 3578, was introduced on Nov. 21 by Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-2-NJ), chairman of the Transportation Committee’s Aviation Subcommittee. The bill responds to a new policy, first reported in a November 2013 FAA newsletter, that the agency would soon begin subjecting pilots with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater to OSA screening.
