FAA ESTABLISHES AIRMAN TESTING STANDARDS AND TRAINING WORKING GROUP
Today, the FAA assigned the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) new tasks arising from recommendations of the Airman Testing Standards and Training Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC).
The new tasks include the following: 1) to integrate 14 CFR part 61 aeronautical knowledge and flight proficiency requirements for the private pilot and flight instructor certificates and the instrument rating into a single Airman Certification Standards document for each type of certificate and rating; 2) to develop a detailed proposal to realign FAA training handbooks with the Airman Certification Standards documents; and 3) to propose knowledge test item bank questions consistent with the integrated Airman Certification Standards documents and the principles set forth in the ARC recommendations.
Requests to participate in the Working Group must be received on or before October 2, 2012. If you have any questions related to ARC recommendations, please contact our office.
