pandemic. In addition,

according to decree N°

297 that established the

measure of social

preventive and mandatory

isolation for all the people

either living or being

this regulation accounts

for the impossibility of

carrying out the training

and the aeronautical

personnel assessment

since people involved

cannot properly access to

where many training and

verification activities are

performed. For all these

reasons, ANAC decided to

The COVID-19 Pandemic

has resulted in the

cessation and significant

reduction of commercial

air transport operations. In

addition it has resulted in

difficulties for flight crew

members to arrange

medical assessments due

to social distance

regulations and reduced

crew members not being
