WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR APPLICATION
Your application will be evaluated by the National Examiner Board (NEB) to ensure that you meet the selection criteria for the designation

Upon receiving notification that your application has been accepted, take the appropriate predesignation knowledge test at any FAA computerized
testing center. Request the Aviation Mechanic Examiner Test or the Parachute Rigger Examiner Test. You must forward test results to the NEB
within 10 days of the date you complete the test. Keep a copy of the test report for your personal records.
Upon receiving the applicant’s test report with a score of 80 percent or higher, the NEB will notify the applicant of approval/nonapproval for
assignment to the national examiner candidate pool. In accordance with candidates’ indicated geographic availability, qualifications, and ranking
within the pool, the NEB forwards candidate applications to each FSDO requesting a new designee.
Your application will be kept on file in the NEB candidate pool for a period of 2 years or until you are selected for designation, whichever comes
first.
After 2 years, applications of all candidates not selected for designation will be deleted from the NEB pool. An applicant must repeat the
application process in order to apply for reassignment to the candidate pool.

SIGNATURE, RELEASE OF INFORMATION, AND CERTIFICATION-Read Carefully YOU MUST SIGN AND DATE THIS
APPLICATION - (You must print or type your name under the signature block)
I understand that a false statement on any part of this application will be grounds for not approving this application, for rescinding my eligibility as an examiner or
designee candidate, for not designating me, or for terminating any designation I may receive.
I understand that any information I give may be investigated.
I consent to the release of information regarding my personal and technical qualifications for designation as a mechanic examiner/parachute rigger examiner/
designated airworthiness representative-maintenance/or organizational designated representative-maintenance by employers, schools, law enforcement agencies,
and other individuals and organizations, to investigators, employees of the federal government, and persons not employed by the federal government to whom the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delegated the authority to screen and approve or disapprove DME/DPRE/DAR-T/ODAR-T applicants.

I understand that, if my application is accepted, approval for assignment to the national examiner/designee candidate pool is dependent on satisfactory completion of
the predesignation knowledge test with a score of 80 percent or higher for DME/DPRE.
I understand that assignment to the national examiner/designee candidate pool does not guarantee selection or designation as a mechanic examiner/parachute
rigger examiner/or designated airworthiness representative maintenance and that, if selected, designation is dependent upon satisfactory completion ofa practical
test (demonstration of competency) for DME/DPRE and satisfactory completion of the Initial Technical Airman Examiner Standardization Seminar for
DME/DPRE/DAR-T candidates.
I understand that my FAA accident/incident violation history will be verified at each stage of the application process.
I understand that designation as a mechanic examiner/parachute rigger examiner/designated airworthiness representative-maintenance/organizationaI designated
airworthiness representative-maintenance is a privilege, not a right, and that any designation received may be terminated, revoked, or not renewed at any time or for
any reason the FAA Administrator deems appropriate.
