Individuals pursuing an FAA
certificate or rating to operate in the National Airspace System
(NAS) must meet the standards established in the FAA regulations
specific to the certificate sought by the individual. FAA
certification requires that an individual must successfully pass an
Airman Knowledge Test as part of the requirements to obtain an FAA
certificate or rating. The FAA develops and administers 90
different knowledge tests in many different areas that are required
as part of the overall airman certification process. Airman
Knowledge Tests are administered at approved Knowledge Testing
Centers by an approved test proctor who is required to administer
the appropriate Airman Knowledge Test to the individual pursuing
FAA certification through the ATLAS test delivery software. It is
voluntary for individuals taking an FAA Airman Knowledge Test to
