Pilot exempt certificate

A pilot exempt certificate is a special authorization that allows certain individuals or organizations to operate aircraft without holding a standard pilot license. This certificate is issued when the operator meets specific criteria and safety requirements, often for limited or specialized flying activities. It ensures that the operator can conduct flights legally while maintaining safety standards, even without a traditional pilot certification. Essentially, it’s a regulatory exemption granted under specific conditions, enabling operators to perform certain operational tasks without typical licensing restrictions.
