Abstract: Individuals pursuing an FAA certificate or rating to operate in the National Airspace System (NAS) must meet the standards established in the FAA regulations specific to the certificate sought by the individual. FAA certification requires that an individual must successfully pass an Airman Knowledge Test as part of the requirements to obtain an FAA certificate or rating. The FAA develops and administers 90 different knowledge tests in many different areas that are required as part of the overall airman certification process. Airman Knowledge Tests are administered at approved Knowledge Testing Centers by an approved test proctor who is required to administer the appropriate Airman Knowledge Test to the individual pursuing FAA certification through the ATLAS test delivery software. It is voluntary for individuals taking an FAA Airman Knowledge Test to report the following information on occasion in order to complete the registration process before the administration of the Airman Knowledge Test: Name, username, password, FAA Tracking Number (FTN), physical address, Date of Birth, email address, phone number, country, citizenship, branch of service, previous number of test attempts, flight school or field experience, graduation date, authorization category, accommodation selections, scheduled exam date, photo identification, and test authorization (credentials of the individual such as an instructor endorsement). The information below is collected by the approved knowledge test delivery vender in electronic format for the purposes stated below: • Name: First, Middle, Last, Suffix • Username • Password • FAA Tracking Number (FTN) – provided to identify individual’s name as established by individual in IACRA. • Email Address • Date of Birth: - Airman Knowledge Tests have minimum age requirements in order to take specific test based on minimum age for FAA certification • Phone number • City • State • Postal Code • Country • Citizenship • Branch of Service Designation • Number of Attempts: Number of attempts to be in compliance with regulations that mandate how long an individual must wait to take the test again after failure. • Flight School or Field Experience (when applicable) • Graduation Date (when applicable) • Authorization Category • Accommodation Selections (when applicable) • Scheduled exam date • Photo identification that contains the individuals photograph, address, signature, and DOB for compliance with U.S. Code § 44703, part 61 and part 107. • Test authorization indicating individual is qualified for the specific knowledge test (instructor endorsement, graduation certificate, etc) according to the specific regulation of the certificate being pursued by the airman. It is anticipated that the information collected will not be disseminated to the public or used to support publicly disseminated information. The FAA will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for confidentiality, privacy, and electronic information. The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines. The information is used by the FAA as part of the overall airman certification process for issuing certificates in accordance with FAA regulations and auditing that process for compliance.
