This information collection involves both reporting and recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers to issue pilot certificates. Some of the information collected in this collection is recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers for information that they collect to be able to issue pilot certificates. Applicants for Part 142 Training Center are required to report the information when submitting an application to the FAA. Existing Part 142 Training Centers are required to maintain records of the information to issue pilot certificates. Both the application process and the recordkeeping process for training that has occurred are accounted for in this collection. The training center is required by regulation to collect information and keep records to show trainees are qualified for training, testing, or checking. The information contained in this collection is mandatory as required by the regulations mentioned in number 1 of this collection. The entities who must respond are Part 142 Training Centers. The requirements of this collection are recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The collection frequency is as required and may differ per regulatory requirement. For example, training records of trainee must be kept each time they engage in training. The information would be retained by the certificate holder for inspection by FAA personnel or in the case of certification requests, be presented to the FAA.
The information is maintained by the certificate holder and subject to review by aviation safety inspectors (operations), designated to provide surveillance to training centers to ensure compliance with airman training, testing, and certification requirements specified in other parts of the 14 CFR. Information may be reviewed on a periodic basis, and at times of special events such as accidents, requests for certificate or course amendments, and the like. If the information were not collected, inspectors would not be able to determine if airmen who are clients are being trained, checked, or tested to meet the safety standards established in other parts of 14 CFR. To date, FAA inspectors have used the information collected to determine and assess regulatory compliance during routine program surveillance.
The FAA updated the wage rates of both industry and FAA employees.
The burden to provide a record to each Principal Operations Inspector (POI) of Part 121 and 135 certificate holders provided training in a Part 142 training center to include each course being instructed and the instructor’s name was removed. This is the function of a Part 121 or 135 certificate holder and not the responsibility of the Part 142 training center. This burden is recorded elsewhere and would be double counted if left here. Part 121 is OMB# 2120-0008, Part 135 is OMB# 2120-0039
