Abstract: 14 CFR § 65.11 requires that applications for a certificate or rating under this part be reported on a form and in a manner prescribed by the FAA Administrator. The applications forms are submitted by the applicant, to the FAA, by way of the local Flight Standards Office. The information collected on the forms is, and has been, used by the FAA to determine eligibility for a mechanic, repairman, or parachute rigger certificate and/or rating, or a mechanic certificate inspection authorization. Application and certification is necessary to ensure qualifications of the applicant. A new FAA form, 8610-3, is being requested to collect the repairman applicant information previously collected on FAA Form 8610-2. Additionally, Mechanic and parachute rigger applicants must pass FAA knowledge and practical tests, with a minimum passing grade of 70%, to be eligible for certificate issuance. Applicants may retest 30 days after failing a test, however if an applicant desires to test prior to 30 days from the test failure, they must present a signed statement from an airman holding the certificate and rating sought by the applicant, certifying that the airman has given the applicant additional instruction in each of the subjects failed and that the airman considers the applicant ready for retesting. Certificated parachute riggers must also keep records, as required by §65.131. This is a mandatory requirement of the certificate holder. The record describes the parachute being packed, maintained, or altered. The record must include a description of the work done to the parachute, and the date and place where the work was performed. The records must be kept for at least 2 years after the date each was made. Section 65.93(a)(4) specifies that, mechanics with an IA can complete a refresher course(s) acceptable to the Administrator, of not less than 8 hours of instruction for each year of the two-year renewal requirement. Respondents who are requesting FAA acceptance of an IA renewal course are required to submit FAA Form 8610-6, IA Refresher Course Acceptance Request to the FAA.
