14 CFR part 65 prescribes, among other things, rules governing the issuance of certificates and associated ratings for mechanics, repairmen, parachute riggers, and the issuance and renewal of inspection authorizations.
The information is collected on forms submitted by applicants for mechanic, repairman, or parachute rigger certificates, or applicants for an initial or renewed inspection authorization. The information is used for evaluation by the FAA and is necessary for determining eligibility for issuance of a certificate, rating, or authorization.
In addition to the required application for a certificate or authorization, applicants are required to provide the FAA evidence of training or experience related to the certificate, rating, authorization, or certificate privileges sought, to include the following:
⢠Mechanic applicants must provide evidence of meeting one of the experience requirements of § 65.77.
⢠Inspection authorization renewal applicants must provide evidence of their renewal activity.
⢠Parachute rigger applicants must provide evidence of packing a minimum number of parachutes, and in some cases experience.
⢠Repairman applicants employed by a repair station or air carrier must provide their employer recommendation and evidence of training or experience.
⢠Amateur aircraft builder repairmen must show evidence they are the primary builder of the aircraft for which privileges are sought.
Applicants for a light-sport repairman (certificate must complete an FAA-accepted training course and provide completion documentation.
Training course providers of light-sport repairman training courses must submit their training course to the FAA for acceptance. Additionally, the training course provider must issue a completion certificate to students who complete an FAA-accepted light-sport repairman training course.
Mechanic and parachute rigger applicants who fail a required certification test, and who test within 30 days of that test failure, must present a signed statement certifying that the applicant has received additional instruction in each of the subjects failed. Certificated parachute riggers must maintain records of the packing, maintenance, and alteration of parachutes performed or supervised by the parachute rigger.
14 CFR § 65.11 requires that applications for a certificate or rating under this part be made on a form and in a manner prescribed by the FAA Administrator. The instruments (forms) described below are submitted by the applicant, to the FAA, by way of the local Flight Standards Office. The airman application forms included in this collection are:
⢠FAA Form 8610-1, Mechanicâs Application for Inspection Authorization
⢠FAA Form 8610-2, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application â Mechanic and Parachute Rigger
⢠FAA Form 8610-3, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application â Repairman
The information collected on the airman application forms is, and has been, used by the FAA to determine eligibility for a mechanic, repairman, or parachute rigger certificate and/or rating, or a mechanic certificate inspection authorization. Application and certification are necessary to ensure qualifications of the applicant. The Pilots Bill of Rights (PBR) is a notification included in the supplemental information of FAA Forms 8610-1, 8610-2, and 8610-3. The PBR notifies all applicants that they are under investigation, which is precipitated by submission of the application, to determine whether the applicant meets the qualifications for the airman certificate, rating, or inspection authorization being requested.
Respondents submit the FAA airmen application forms in this collection to local FAA Flight Standards offices, for review by the FAA, to determine the applicantâs eligibility.
The maintenance and dissemination of the data is described in DOT/FAA System of Records Notice (SORN) 847, Aviation Records on Individuals.

The FAA is revising this collection to reflect changes to FAA Form 8610-3, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application â Repairman, to align with proposed rulemaking Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC), Docket No. FAA-2023-1377 . The specific changes to this form include:
⢠Revised the name of the ârepairman certificate (light-sport aircraft)â to ârepairman certificate (light-sport)â and removed use of âLSAâ acronym,
⢠Replaced the term âClassâ with âAircraft Categoryâ,
⢠Listed the following aircraft categories, with an associated checkbox for each: airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air, powered-lift, powered parachute, and weight-shift control aircraft.
The burden estimates related to FAA acceptance of light-sport repairman training courses have been revised. These burden changes are not a result of the MOSAIC rulemaking and are not new. However, previous estimates were incorrectly based on the number of light-sport repairman applicants, which is inaccurate because the training courses themselves do not result in PRA-related burden on applicants; training course burden estimates have been revised to reflect the burden on training course providers for development of training courses and for issuing the required training course completion certificate.
Training courses no longer have a 2-year expiration date. Therefore, the burden associated with renewing training courses every two years has been removed from estimates previously approved.
The estimated burden to the Federal government was also increased because the previous IC did not include Federal burden related to the FAA review of light-sport repairman training courses.
The supplemental document âPart 65 Forms-Details of ICâ has been revised to reflect the specific changes made to each page of 8610-3 under this revision. Changes to the form do not result in new impacts on the collection, its justification, or burden estimates.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
