Abstract: Flight engineers and flight navigators seeking to receive or maintain certification and flight schools seeking approval of related training courses are mandated to report to this collection. Certificates are effective until surrendered, suspended, or revoked. There are 7 schools that annually train an average of 4 flight engineers each. These schools are required to have their proposed training courses approved by FAA before they can be implemented, and course approval must be renewed every 24 months thereafter. Training course operators are also required to keep accurate records of students training activities, and to make annual reports to FAA about the activities. FAA Form 8400.3, Application for an Airman Certificate and/or Rating, (for flight engineer and flight navigator applicants) and applications for approval of related training courses are submitted to FAA for evaluation. The submission of this information to the FAA is mandatory, occurs on occasion and is considered reporting and record keeping. The information is reviewed by FAA personnel to determine applicant eligibility and compliance with prescribed provisions of FAR Part 63, Certification: Flight Crewmembers Other Than Pilots. Form 8400-3 is multiple-use form also used for control tower operators and aircraft dispatchers.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: In sections 63.11 and 63.23 the time per application changed from .1 in the previous submission to .2 in this submission. This was an error in the previously approved collection. The text noted .2, but the calculations indicated .1. The math error was corrected in this renewal. The labor cost for this submission is based on an hourly rate of 77.50 in the previous submission the rate used was 32.00. This was an error in the previously approved collection. Many of the tasks would require flight engineer technical expertise. The job classification was corrected in this renewal to reflect the necessary technical skills. The agency has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections, there has not been additional forms or applications added. Rounding of the individual ICs resulted in a 5 hour burden increase.
