Vaccine Madate/Private Operators

[StandingBy]

I’ve been trying to ascertain, out of curiosity, whether the new mandate will apply to private operators,i.e. whether professional crew of private aircraft will need to be fully vaccinated. I’ve noticed the use of the term ‘air carrier’ used in some media and that has me wondering. Of course if you had to get on an airliner to reposition to your aircraft I assume you’d need to be vaccinated, so perhaps it is irrelevant. I’m hoping to avoid the arguments of the Covid forum on this one; just curious if anyone is in the know. It would be pretty hard to police riveted operators anyway as long as the crew never travel commercially.
