Title 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h) mandates that all U.S. air carriers operating under 14 CFR parts 121 or 135, and all U.S. air operators under 14 CFR part 125, and certain others, request and receive certain training, safety, and testing records before extending a firm offer of employment to an individual who is applying to their company as a pilot. These records are to be requested from the FAA, from any employer(s) from the previous 5-year period that used the applicant as a pilot, and from the National Driver Registration database. This revision is to add an online application to benefit hiring air carriers, operators and pilots required to comply and to add a public application for authentication, MyAccess.
