WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR APPLICATION—
The Light-Sport Standardization Board (LSSB) will evaluate your application to ensure that you meet the selection criteria for the designation(s)
sought. The LSSB will advise you, in writing, whether or not you meet the applicable selection criteria. If the LSSB sends you a letter stating you
do NOT meet the selection criteria, do NOT take the predesignation knowledge test.
If the LSSB sends you a letter stating you do meet the selection criteria, you will be directed to take the examiner predesignation knowledge test
appropriate to the designation(s) sought. For example: airplane, weight-shift control, gyroplane, glider, powered parachute, airship and balloon.
You may take the examiner predesignation knowledge test at any FAA-approved computerized testing center. Request the pilot examiner
predesignation knowledge test for the category applicable to the designation(s) sought. You MUST forward the original test results to the LSSB
within 10 days of the date you take the examiner predesignation knowledge test. Keep a copy of the test results for your personal records.
Upon receiving your original test results with a score of 80 percent or higher, the LSSB will notify you of approval or disapproval for assignment
to the national examiner candidate pool. The LSSB will forward only the top three ranking candidates within the national examiner candidate pool
to AFS-610 when they request a new designee. The LSSB keeps your application in the national examiner candidate pool for 2 years or until AFS­
610 selects you, whichever comes first.
After 2 years, the LSSB will delete the applications of all candidates not selected from the national examiner candidate pool. An applicant must
repeat the application process in order to apply for reassignment to the national examiner candidate pool.

Under your signature, you MUST print or type your name.

I understand that a false statement on any part of this application will be grounds for not approving this application, for rescinding my eligibility as an examiner

candidate, for not designating me, or terminating any designation I may receive.

I understand that any information given may be investigated.
I consent to the release of information regarding my personal and technical qualifications for designation as a pilot examiner by employers, schools, law

enforcement agencies, and other individuals and organizations, to investigators, employees of the Federal government, and persons not employed by the Federal

government to whom the FAA has delegated the authority to screen and approve or disapprove pilot examiner applicants.

I understand that, if my application is accepted, approval for assignment to the national examiner candidate pool is dependent on my passing the examiner

predesignation knowledge test with a score of 80 percent or higher.

I understand that assignment to the national examiner candidate pool does not guarantee selection or designation as a pilot examiner and that, if selected,

designation is dependent on satisfactory completion of a practical test (demonstration of competency) and satisfactory completion of the Initial Sport Pilot

Examiner Standardization Seminar.

I understand that my FAA accident/incident/violation history will be verified at each stage of the application process.
I understand that designation as a pilot examiner is a privilege, not a right, and that any designation received may be terminated, revoked, or not renewed at any

time for any reason the FAA Administrator deems appropriate.

I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, all of my statements on this application are true, correct, complete, and made in good faith.
