Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996/ Pilot Record Database

With the exception of Form 8060-XX, an air carrier utilizes these forms to report a request for the applicable records of all applicants for the position of pilot with their company as needed. The information collected on these forms will be used only to facilitate search and retrieval of the requested records and submission is mandatory. Air carriers 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-XX is used by pilots who cannot access the PRD themselves in order to release records to an air carrier 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 air carriers for review, there will be cases when pilots cannot access the PRD application. In those cases, the pilot will complete the Form 8060-XX 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 air carrier(s). The form may also be used to revoke consent to the records if needed. The information is collected on an as needed basis. Information may also be reported by members of the aviation public to create a MyAccess registration and authenticate into the PRD.
