RELEASE OF INFORMATION AND CERTIFICATION STATEMENT—
—
Read this statement CAREFULLY.

After you read this statement, you MUST sign and date this application in black ink.

Under your signature, you MUST print or type your name.

¸ 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
candidate, for not designating me, or terminating any designation I may receive.
¸ I understand that any information given may be investigated.
¸ I consent to the release of information regarding my personal and technical qualifications for designation as a pilot examiner 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 FAA has delegated the authority to screen and approve or disapprove pilot examiner applicants.
¸ I understand that, if my application is accepted, approval for assignment to the national examiner candidate pool is dependent on my passing the examiner

predesignation knowledge test with a score of 80 percent or higher.

¸ I understand that assignment to the national examiner candidate pool does not guarantee selection or designation as a pilot examiner and that, if selected,

designation is dependent on satisfactory completion of a practical test (demonstration of competency) and satisfactory completion of the Initial Pilot Examiner

Standardization Seminar.

¸ 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 pilot examiner is a privilege, not a right, and that any designation received may be terminated, revoked, or not renewed at any

time for any reason the FAA Administrator deems appropriate.

¸ I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, all of my statements on this application are true, correct, complete, and made in good faith.
