✈️FAA Notice on Remote Pilot Certification Information Collection
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves information submitted on FAA form 8710-13 (Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application) by persons applying for a Part 107 remote pilot certificate and/or rating. A Part 107 remote pilot certificate and/or rating is required to act as remote pilot in command of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) being operated under Part 107. The form requires an applicant to provide information such as their name, address, physical characteristics (height, weight, etc.), existing pilot certificates, and whether the applicant took the knowledge test or training course. The applicant must provide proof of completion of a knowledge test or training course, as applicable, with the application. The information to be collected will be used to identify and evaluate your qualifications and eligibility for the issuance of a remote pilot certificate and/or rating. Form 8710-13 can be submitted electronically using the FAA's online Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA), by mail, or in person at certain FAA facilities.

Learn More✈️Compliance Updates for Powered-Lift Operations Effective 2025
On November 21, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule titled "Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes" (RIN 2120-AL72). That final rule inadvertently duplicated two tables in the regulatory text of the Special Federal Aviation Regulation for powered-lift. This correction removes the duplicates. Additionally, the FAA inadvertently cited an incorrect paragraph in the Training center instructor eligibility requirements section of the Code of Federal Regulations. This correction corrects the paragraph reference.
