Abstract:
The information is reported and recorded by 14 CFR part 141 certificated pilot schools seeking to maintain their Air Agency Certification. Uncertified pilot schools seeking certification as a part 141 pilot school are also required by part 141 to report information to the FAA and keep specific records. Part 141 pilot schools train private, commercial, flight instructor, and airline transport pilots, along with training for associated ratings in various types of aircraft. FAA Form 8420-8 is necessary to ensure continuing compliance with part 141, renewal of pilot school certificates every 24 calendar months, and for any amendments to pilot school certificates. The information collected becomes a part of the FAA's official records and is only used by the FAA for certification, compliance, enforcement, and when accidents, incidents, reports of noncompliance, safety programs, or other circumstances requiring reference to records. The requirements of part 141 include reporting and recordkeeping.

Short Statement:
In the final rule, Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes (RIN 2120-AL72), the FAA establishes a Special Federal Aviation Regulation to apply certain operating rules to powered-lift aircraft on a temporary basis to enable the FAA to gather additional information and determine the most appropriate permanent rulemaking path for these aircraft. The FAA estimates that this regulatory change will result in one additional pilot school application, one additional renewal application, and one additional training course outline per year. The FAA did not receive any comments to the proposed revisions to this information collection. The FAA is revising this information collection as proposed.
