Chief Pilot req. (waiver)

[Flybet3]

Hey guys if someone doesn't meet the 3 year PIC requirement for a chief pilot position can one get a waiver? Lets say instead of having 36 months of PIC, I only have 32 months, can I still get the position but with a waiver?

Yes you can bro, if in doubt, call the FAA and ask. Good luck and enjoy that new position!

It all depends on your FSDO. I had to do every last day of 36 months before I was approved.

FSIMS Order 8900 has the criteria that can be used for granting the waiver.

Pardon my ignorance but what is this exactly?

No prob. It's the ASI's handbook. I think it use to be called the Air Carrier insprector's HB. The FAA combined a few manuals and put it online. On FAA.gov, just search for it. Tons of info available.

The waivers have to be granted by the FAA regional offices now (Atlanta for the southeast), went through this about a year ago and our POI said that by the time they would get a response I would probably be qualified and not need the waiver. Sad thing was I still needed 12 months PIC... but had over 3 years of ACP experience. Wheels of the government turn slow.

If you are going to be Chief Pilot, you need some more book learning:
