Supplementary Information
Background On December 17, 2025, the FAA published in the Federal Register a Notification of Public Meeting and Request for Comment on the Modernization of Pilot Schools, Document No. 2025-23113, Docket No. FAA-2024-2531, 90 FR 58524. The public meeting on February 5, 2026, was scheduled to be the closing public meeting, during which the industry groups would present their report. Reason for Withdrawal Industry working groups requested the FAA postpone the meeting to provide additional time to prepare their report for presentation at the closing meeting. To accommodate the industry groups' request, the FAA is withdrawing the previously published notice of the hybrid public meeting and issuing a superseding Notification of Public Meeting and Request for Comment. Conclusion The Notification of Public Meeting and Request for Comment on the Modernization of Pilot Schools, Document No. 2025-23113, Docket No. FAA-2024-2531, published at 90 FR 58524, is therefore withdrawn.
