Abstract:
This information collection mandates that applicants who wish to obtain or maintain certification as sport pilots or light sports aircraft flight instructors; entities seeking to obtain or maintain light-sport aircraft airworthiness certification; and individuals wishing to become or remain Designated Pilot Examiners to report information to the FAA on occasion. Part 21 FAA designated inspectors confirm the appropriate manufacturer’s self-certification is presented with the aircraft, and inspects the aircraft to confirm that it is in a condition for safe operation. Those products that comply with the minimum requirement are issued the appropriate airworthiness certificate. The airworthiness certificate indicates to the purchaser of the aircraft that the product was designed and produced in compliance with the referenced industry developed consensus airworthiness standards. This will permit the purchaser of the aircraft to use the aircraft for purposes of flight instruction and rental for pilot proficiency training. This will lead to a higher skill level and resulting higher level of safety for the owners and operators of these aircraft. Part 61 The Airman certificate and/or Rating Application Form and the required records/logbooks/statements required by the federal regulations are submitted to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) district offices or its representatives to determine qualifications of the applicant for issuance of a pilot or instructor certificate, rating, privilege, or authorization. Approximately 10,000 pilots and flight instructors have sought certification to date. Applicants for a new certificate for the student pilot, sport pilot, ground, and flight instructor with a sport pilot rating or new category or class privileges are required to submit FAA Form 8710-11, Sport Pilot Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application. Part 183 This rule will require the addition of new designated examiners and will require modifications to the forms listed below. Collection of this information is for the purpose of obtaining essential information concerning the applicants' professional and personal qualifications. The FAA uses the information provided to screen and select the designees who act as representatives of the Administrator in performing various certification and examination functions. The collection of information is accomplished by use of the following forms: FAA Form 8710 12. Light-Sport Standardization Board-Designated Pilot Examiner Candidate Application. The designated examiners impacted by this rule: • DPEs – Sport pilot Examiners and Sport Pilot Flight Instructor Examiners (SPE and SFIEs). The FAA estimates a total of 20 respondents per year for the first year. The FAA is planning to phase out FAA Form 8710-12 in the next year, which is only used by Sport pilot Examiners and Sport Pilot Flight Instructor Examiners (SPE and SFIEs).
