ARTICLE 94 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT Section 1. In accordance with 5 CFR 2635.101(b)(10), (14); 2635.801(c) and FAA Order 3750.7, outside employment in general is permitted so long as it neither conflicts with official government duties and responsibilities nor appears to do so. Employees are permitted to engage in outside aviation employment so long as the outside employer does not conduct activities for which the employee's facility or office has official responsibility.
