                      Subpart D_Examining Authority

 

Sec. 141.67  Limitations and reports.



    A pilot school that holds examining authority may only recommend the 

issuance of a pilot, flight instructor, or ground instructor certificate 

and rating to a person who does not take an FAA knowledge test or 

practical test, if the recommendation for the issuance of that 

certificate or rating is in accordance with the following requirements:

    (a) The person graduated from a training course for which the pilot 

school holds examining authority.

    (b) Except as provided in this paragraph, the person satisfactorily 

completed all the curriculum requirements of that pilot school's 

approved training course. A person who transfers from one part 141 

approved pilot school to another part 141 approved pilot school may 

receive credit for that previous training, provided the following 

requirements are met:

    (1) The maximum credited training time does not exceed one-half of 

the receiving school's curriculum requirements;

    (2) The person completes a knowledge and proficiency test conducted 

by the receiving school for the purpose of determining the amount of 

pilot experience and knowledge to be credited;

    (3) The receiving school determines (based on the person's 

performance on the knowledge and proficiency test required by paragraph 

(b)(2) of this section) the amount of credit to be awarded, and records 

that credit in the person's training record;

    (4) The person who requests credit for previous pilot experience and 

knowledge obtained the experience and knowledge from another part 141 

approved pilot school and training course; and

    (5) The receiving school retains a copy of the person's training 

record from the previous school.

    (c) Tests given by a pilot school that holds examining authority 

must be approved by the Administrator and be at least equal in scope, 

depth, and difficulty to the comparable knowledge and practical tests 

prescribed by the Administrator under part 61 of this chapter.

    (d) A pilot school that holds examining authority may not use its 

knowledge or practical tests if the school:

    (1) Knows, or has reason to believe, the test has been compromised; 

or

    (2) Is notified by an FAA Flight Standards District Office that 

there is reason to believe or it is known that the test has been 

compromised.

    (e) A pilot school that holds examining authority must maintain a 

record of all temporary airman certificates it issues, which consist of 

the following information:

    (1) A chronological listing that includes--

    (i) The date the temporary airman certificate was issued;

    (ii) The student to whom the temporary airman certificate was 

issued, and that student's permanent mailing address and telephone 

number;

    (iii) The training course from which the student graduated;

    (iv) The name of person who conducted the knowledge or practical 

test;

    (v) The type of temporary airman certificate or rating issued to the 

student; and

    (vi) The date the student's airman application file was sent to the 

FAA for processing for a permanent airman certificate.

    (2) A copy of the record containing each student's graduation 

certificate, airman application, temporary airman certificate, 

superseded airman certificate (if applicable), and knowledge test or 

practical test results; and

    (3) The records required by paragraph (e) of this section must be 

retained for 1 year and made available to the Administrator upon 

request. These records must be surrendered to the Administrator when the 

pilot school ceases to have examining authority.

    (f) Except for pilot schools that have an airman certification 

representative, when a student passes the knowledge test or practical 

test, the pilot school that holds examining authority must submit that 

student's airman application file and training record to the FAA for 

processing for the issuance of a permanent airman certificate.
