SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA has established Docket No. 

FAA–2013–0316 for the purpose of 

enabling the public to comment on 

several draft documents developed by 

the Airman Testing Standards and 

Training Working Group. The following 

documents have been placed in that 

docket for public review and comment: 

(1) Background Information; IndustryLed Changes to FAA Airman Testing 

Standards and Training 

(2) Draft PRIVATE PILOT— 

AIRPLANE Airman Certification 

Standards; 

(3) Draft Change Tracking Matrix 

referenced to FAA–S–8081–14B, Private 

Pilot Practical Test Standards for 

Airplane (Single Engine Land and 

Single-Engine Sea Areas of Operation); 

Section 1: Private Pilot 

(4) Draft INSTRUMENT RATING— 

Airman Certification Standards; and 

(5) Draft Change Tracking Matrix 

referenced to FAA–S–8081–4E, 

Instrument Rating Practical Test 

Standards for Airplane, Helicopter, and 

Powered Lift 

On August 30, 2012, the ARAC 

Executive Committee accepted the 

FAA’s assignment of a new task arising 

from recommendations of the Airman 

Testing Standards and Training 

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC). 

The ARC recommended ways to ensure 

that the FAA’s airman testing and 

training materials better support 

reduction of fatal general aviation 

accidents. The new task instructed the 

ARAC to integrate aeronautical 

knowledge and flight proficiency 

requirements for the private pilot and 

flight instructor certificates and the 

instrument rating into a single ACS 

document for each type of certificate 

and rating; to develop a detailed 

proposal to realign FAA training 

handbooks with the ACS documents; 

and to propose knowledge test item 

bank questions consistent with the 

integrated ACS documents and the 

principles set forth in the ARC’s 

recommendations. 

The FAA announced the ARAC’s 

acceptance of this task through a 

Federal Register Notice published on 

September 12, 2012 [77 FR 56251]. This 

Notice described the task elements and 

solicited participants for the ATSTWG, 

which subsequently formed and began 

its work in November 2012. 

Consistent with the initial part of this 

tasking, the ATSTWG has developed 

draft ACS documents for the private 

pilot certificate and the instrument 

rating. These documents align the 

aeronautical knowledge testing 

standards with the flight proficiency 

standards set out in the existing 

Practical Test Standards (PTS). In 

addition to supporting the FAA’s effort 

to improve the relevance, reliability, 

validity, and effectiveness of 

aeronautical testing and training 

materials, the draft ACS documents 

support the FAA’s goal of reducing fatal 

general aviation accidents by 

incorporating task-specific risk 

management considerations into each 

Area of Operation. 

The ATSTWG continues the 

necessary work to develop the 

authorized instructor ACS document 

and complete its remaining 

assignments. These include developing 

a detailed proposal to realign and, as 

appropriate, streamline and consolidate 

existing FAA guidance material (e.g., 

handbooks) with each integrated ACS 

document; and to propose 

methodologies to ensure that knowledge 

test item bank questions are consistent 

with both the ACS documents and the 

test question development principles set 

forth in the ARC’s recommendations. 

The ACS documents are designed as 

the foundation for transitioning to a 

more integrated and systematic 

approach to airman certification testing
