Military Competency

FAA Change to Centerline Thrust Limitation.

U.S. Air Force Cessna O-2 Skymaster, a centerline thrust twin, in flight

As of August 1, 2018 Centerline Thrust restrictions will no longer be issued on pilot certificates issued on the basis of Military Competency.

In addition, anyone who has a centerline thrust restriction appearing on their certificate can apply to have it removed. Our Military Examiner can remove this limitation from your current airman's certificate.

Unless you flew the Oscar Duce for your whole U.S. Air Force career this will apply to most folks that were flying multiengine turbojet fighter or training aircraft.

Give us a call and we will help you have that limitation removed from your FAA Airman's Certificate, with our staff Military Competency Examiner. Call us at 1.800.588.9325, Ext 3
