With the exception of Form 8060-14 and
-15, an operator utilizes the various 8060 forms to report a
request for the applicable records of all applicants for the
position of pilot with their company as needed under PRIA. The
information collected on these forms will be used only to
facilitate search and retrieval of the requested records, and
submission is mandatory until PRIA sunsets. Operators then “may use
such records only to assess the qualification of the individual in
deciding whether or not to hire the individual as a pilot.” (49
U.S.C. § 44703(h)(11)). Form 8060-14 is used by pilots who cannot
access the PRD themselves in order to release records to an
operator, and its use is voluntary until the FAA issues the PRD
final rule. While the FAA expects most pilots will access the PRD
web-based application themselves and release records to operators
for review, there will be cases when pilots cannot access the PRD
application. In those cases, the pilot will complete the Form
8060-14 and submit to the FAA. The form instructs the FAA to access
the PRD on behalf of the pilot and release the records to the
specified operator(s). The form may also be used to revoke consent
to the records, and update the pilot’s employment history if
needed. The information is collected on an as needed basis. The
Form 8060-15 will also be used also used by pilots who cannot
access the PRD themselves. This form allows a pilot to mark a
record as disputed and to initiate the correction process for
non-FAA forms. Information may also be reported by members of the
aviation public to create a MyAccess registration and authenticate
into the PRD. The remaining “web-based” data collection tools are
used by operators to enter various records into the PRD as required
by part 111. Pilots also use the PRD web site to enter their
previous aviation employers. The information entered is associated
with a pilot, which is then made available to a hiring operator
after the pilot grants consent allowing the records to be viewed.
The hiring operator then uses the information to help them perform
a comprehensive assessment of the pilot prior to making a hiring
decision, as required by the Act.
