AIRMAN CERTIFICATION EVENTS MUST INCLUDE NEW PAPERWORK
As a consequence of the passage of the Pilot's Bill of Rights, a new layer of paperwork regarding both pilot certification and FAA medicals has emerged - that is the requirement that applicants receive and sign, and records be kept of, notification that the new law is being complied with. The FAA this week released N8900.195, a notice of "National Policy relating to Requirements for Written Notification During Investigations of Airmen." Section 8 of this notice specifically states that "Applications for airman certificates, ratings, or inspection authorizations involve FAA investigations of an individual's qualifications to hold the airman certificate, rating, or inspection authorization for which the individual has applied." According to NAFI, to comply with this requirement, an applicant must be provided with, sign, and the FAA must keep record of an acknowledgement of the notification of the applicant's rights.
