Background: Title 49 United States 

Code (49 U.S.C.) 44703(h): Records of 

Employment of Pilot Applicants, which 

was established by the Pilot Records 

Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA), 

mandates that air carriers who have 

been issued a part 119 air carrier 

certificate and are authorized to conduct 

operations under Title 14 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121 or

operators, request and receive FAA 

records, air carrier and other operator 

records, and the National Driver 

Register records before allowing an 

individual to begin service as a pilot. 

Additionally, fractional ownerships 

operating in accordance with subpart K 

of part 91 are required to complete a 

pilot safety background check before 

allowing an individual to begin service 

as a pilot (reference § 91.1051). 

Furthermore, air tour operators 

operating in accordance with § 91.147 

are required to obtain an individual’s 

previous drug and/or alcohol testing 

records before allowing an individual to 

begin service as a pilot. All requestors 

are heretofore referred to as ‘‘air 

carriers.’’ The FAA is also deploying a 

web-based online application called the 

Pilot Records Database (PRD) in 

December 2016 that is expected to 

benefit hiring air carriers, operators, and 

pilots required to comply with PRIA. 

This application automates the current 

PRIA process and provides an air carrier 

with immediate access to a consenting 

pilot’s FAA records. 

Respondents: Approximately 14,974. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 2.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden:
