Abstract: Flight engineers and flight navigators seeking to receive or maintain certification and flight schools seeking approval of related training courses are mandated to report to this collection. Certificates are effective until surrendered, suspended, or revoked. There are 4 schools that annually train an average of 5 flight engineers each. These schools are required to have their proposed training courses approved by FAA before they can be implemented, and course approval must be renewed every 24 months thereafter. Training course operators are also required to keep accurate records of students training activities, and to make annual reports to FAA about the activities. FAA Form 8400.3, Application for an Airman Certificate and/or Rating, (for flight engineer and flight navigator applicants) and applications for approval of related training courses are submitted to FAA for evaluation. The submission of this information to the FAA is mandatory, occurs on occasion and is considered reporting and record keeping. The information is reviewed by FAA personnel to determine applicant eligibility and compliance with prescribed provisions of FAR Part 63, Certification: Flight Crewmembers Other Than Pilots. Form 8400-3 is multiple-use form also used for control tower operators and aircraft dispatchers.

Short Statement: The numbers of schools in question 12 were updated for current numbers. The labor cost for this submission was based on data found on the BLS website. The burden for 63.42 has been removed. In the past 5 years, there have been no applications for Flight Engineer Certificates Issued on Basis of Foreign Flight Engineer License. Therefore, we have calculated no burden as it is not likely there will be an applicant for this rating in the next 3 years. The cost in Question 14 was updated. The agency has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections, there has not been additional forms or applications added.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,508
