Information Collection: Pilot
Professional Development
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of
information was published on February
12, 2024. The collection involves
requirements primarily applicable to air
carriers conducting domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations to enhance the
professional development of pilots in
those operations. The action requires air
carriers conducting domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations to provide
new-hire pilots with an opportunity to
observe flight operations and become
familiar with procedures before serving
as a flightcrew member in operations.
Additionally, it requires air carriers who
have not previously revised the upgrade
training to include professional
development and to provide leadership
and command and mentoring training
for all pilots in command. The
information to be collected is necessary
to mitigate incidents of unprofessional
pilot behavior and reduce pilot errors
that can lead to a catastrophic event.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by December 16, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/

Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the

enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be

of the collected information.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0802.
Title: Pilot Professional Development.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on February 12, 2024 (89 FR 9902). The
collection involves requirements
primarily applicable to air carriers
conducting domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations to enhance the
professional development of pilots in
those operations. These amendments to
part 121 set out prerequisites and levy
requirements that must be met by
certificate holders using part 121 pilot
training and qualification programs and
by those individuals who serve in given
capacities for those certificate holders.
The FAA anticipates that certificate
holders will incur costs for the
following groups of provisions:
• Operations familiarization for newhire pilots (§ 121.435);
• Leadership and command and
mentoring ground training for pilots
currently serving as pilot in command
(PIC) (§ 121.429) and recurrent PIC
leadership and command and mentoring
ground training (§§ 121.409(b) and
121.427);
• Leadership and command training
and recurrent leadership and command
training for pilots serving as second in
command (SIC) in operations that
require three or more pilots
(§ 121.432(a))
• Upgrade training curriculum
requirements (§§ 121.420 and 121.426);
• Part 121, appendix H requirements;
and
• Approval of Qualification
Standards Document for certificate
holders using an Advanced
Qualification Program (AQP)
(§ 121.909).
The development and approval of
new and revised curriculums will be a
one-time occurrence for each certificate
holder. The documentation regarding
training in leadership and command
and mentoring for current PICs will be
a one-time occurrence. Similarly, the
documentation regarding training in
leadership and command for current
SICs serving in operations that require
three or more pilots will be a one-time

occurrence. The documentation of
operations familiarization for new-hire
pilots will occur once for each new-hire
pilot. The documentation of recurrent
PIC leadership and command and
mentoring training will occur every
three years for each PIC. The
documentation of recurrent leadership
and command training for SICs serving
in operations that require three or more
pilots will occur every three years for
each such SIC.
