Short Statement:
With the implementation of the Student Pilot Application Requirements final rule, an aviation medical examiner will not issue a combination medical certificate and student pilot certificate or accept an application for a student pilot certificate. A student pilot must obtain a student pilot certificate that is issued by the FAA Civil Aviation Registry prior to exercising the privileges of the student pilot certificate.To receive such a certificate, a student pilot applicant may apply in person: with an Aviation Safety Inspector or Aviation Safety Technician at a Flight Standards District Office; through a Designated Pilot Examiner; with an airman certification representative associated with a part 141 pilot school; or with a certified flight instructor. Such an application requires the student pilot applicant to complete FAA Form 8710-1. The FAA estimates, on average, there are 38,700 student pilots who will be required to provide information in accordance with the final rule, annually.
