Abstract: Pilot School seeking to maintain certification or who wish to be issued pilot school certificates and associated ratings are mandated to report information to the FAA and to keep specific records. Pilot schools train private, commercial, flight instructor, and airline transport pilots, along with training for associated ratings in various types of aircraft. The form 8240-8 is necessary to assure continuing compliance with Part 141, renewal of certificates every 24 months, and for any amendments to pilot school certificates, FAA approval of pilot school certificate amendments enables schools to provide new training courses not previously approved.

Short Statement: Section 141.5(d) allows pilot schools that hold training course approvals for special curricula courses to renew their certificates based on their students’ successful completion of an end-of-course test for these FAA approved courses. There are currently hundreds of FAA approved special curricula courses in use by active pilot schools. It is likely that with this new allowance, some schools will request new special curricula course approvals. The FAA estimates that of the 581 active 141 pilot schools approximately 25% (145) have FAA approved special curricula courses. The FAA anticipates: (3) a new time burden for the increase in requests for approval of special curricula courses, and (4) a new time burden of including the pass rate of students completing these courses. These burdens are reflected under § 141.57, Special Curricula and Section 141.13, Application. The allowance under §141.5(d) to accept student completions of a special curricula course for pilot school renewal will likely generate some new requests for special curricula approvals from existing pilot schools. We estimate a 10% increase in applicant requests per year. These changes result in an increase of 197 burden hours, from the previously approved 31,640 to 31,837. The agency has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections.
