Persons applying for an airman
certificate under part 61 are mandated to report information using
the Airman certificate and/or Rating Application form and the
required records, logbooks and statements to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Flight Standards District Offices or its
representatives on occasion. This information is used to determine
qualifications of the applicant for issuance of a pilot or
instructor certificate, or rating or authorization. As of December
31, 2017, there were approximately 825,000 active certificated
pilot airmen. This includes student, private, commercial, airline
transport pilot certificate holders, as well as ground and flight
instructors. Approximately 25% of these pilots are providing data
on an annual basis. Instructor certificates must be renewed every
24 months to remain effective. If the information collection were
not conducted, the FAA would be unable to issue the appropriate
certificates and ratings. Persons applying for a remote pilot
certificate with a small UAS rating under part 107, are mandated to
report information using the FAA Form 8710-13, Remote Pilot
Certificate and/or Rating Application. For applicants who do not
hold a pilot certificate under part 61, the Remote Pilot
Certificate and/or Rating Application is submitted along with a
documentation demonstrating that the applicant passed an
aeronautical knowledge test. For applicants who hold a pilot
certificate under part 61 and meet the flight review requirements
of § 61.56, the Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application
is submitted with evidence of completion of the training
course.

USC 44703 Name of Law: Airman certificates
The FAA is reducing the burden
for instrument currency requirements under § 61.57 for those pilots
that use aviation training devices. The FAA estimates that, of the
102,811 active pilots with an instrument rating, that approximately
50% are maintaining currency. It is likely that only 15% of those
pilots (approximately 15,422 pilots) are using an aviation training
device exclusively to maintain their instrument currency. For those
pilots, this change will reduce the record keeping requirements of
logging time from 6 times a year to two times a year, when logging
instrument currency exclusively in an aviation training device. The
FAA estimates this burden reduction to be 6168.8 hours annually.
Additionally, § 61.159(c) allows pilots to log SIC time in part 135
operations in a single engine turbine-powered airplane or a
multi-engine airplane that otherwise does not require an SIC. This
will require the pilot to obtain a logbook endorsement from the PIC
for each individual flight to log this time as SIC. The FAA
estimates that of the 76,957 Commercial Pilots with airplane and
instrument privileges that approximately 10% (7,696) may actively
pursue a SIC position with a Part 135 operator that is approved for
logging SIC time as described for this provision. But, because of
the limited number of operators (approximately 457 operators as of
09/28/2017) that would qualify or actually pursue this
authorization, the FAA estimates that only 15% (1,154 pilots) might
actually become qualified annually to log SIC time under this
provision. This additional record keeping requirement will be
reflected in Section 61.159, Aeronautical experience. The FAA
estimates this SIC training program burden increase is 1,154 hours
annually.
