Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Pilot 

Professional Development 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. The collection involves 

requirements primarily applicable to air 

carriers conducting domestic, flag, and 

supplemental operations to enhance the 

professional development of pilots in 

those operations. The action requires air 

carriers conducting domestic, flag, and 

supplemental operations to provide 

new-hire pilots with an opportunity to 

observe flight operations and become 

familiar with procedures before serving 

as a flightcrew member in operations. 

Additionally, it requires air carriers who 

have not previously revised the upgrade 

training to include professional 

development and to provide leadership 

and command and mentoring training 

for all pilots in command. The 

information to be collected is necessary 

to mitigate incidents of unprofessional 

pilot behavior and reduce pilot errors 

that can lead to a catastrophic event. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by April 12, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0802. 

Title: Pilot Professional Development. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: The collection involves 

requirements primarily applicable to air 

carriers conducting domestic, flag, and 

supplemental operations to enhance the 

professional development of pilots in 

those operations. These amendments to 

part 121 set out prerequisites and levy 

requirements that must be met by 

certificate holders using part 121 pilot 

training and qualification programs and 

by those individuals who serve in given 

capacities for those certificate holders. 

The FAA anticipates that certificate 

holders will incur costs for the 

following groups of provisions: 

• Operations familiarization for newhire pilots (§ 121.435); 

• Leadership and command and 

mentoring ground training for pilots 

currently serving as pilot in command 

(PIC) (§ 121.429) and recurrent PIC 

leadership and command and mentoring 

ground training (§§ 121.409(b) and 

121.427); 

• Leadership and command training 

and recurrent leadership and command 

training for pilots serving as second in 

command (SIC) in operations that 

require three or more pilots 

(§ 121.432(a)); 

• Upgrade training curriculum 

requirements (§§ 121.420 and 121.426); 

• Part 121, Appendix H requirements; 

and 

• Approval of Qualification 

Standards Document for certificate 

holders using an Advanced 

Qualification Program (AQP) 

(§ 121.909). 

The development and approval of 

new and revised curriculums will be a 

one-time occurrence for each certificate 

holder. The documentation regarding 

training in leadership and command 

and mentoring for current PICs will be 

a one-time occurrence. Similarly, the 

documentation regarding training in 

leadership and command for current 

SICs serving in operations that require 

three or more pilots will be a one-time 

occurrence. The documentation of 

operations familiarization for new-hire 

pilots will occur once for each new-hire 

pilot. The documentation of recurrent 

PIC leadership and command and 

mentoring training will occur every 

three years for each PIC. The 

documentation of recurrent leadership 

and command training for SICs serving 

in operations that require three or more 

pilots will occur every three years for 

each such SIC. 

Respondents: Part 121 Air Carriers. 

Frequency: Varies per Requirement. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Varies per Requirement. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 341 

Hours.
